If you don't have a clue what that means, read on, otherwise just do that and skip to the next part. Now that you connected your PS3 with your computer it's time to get the correct trophy file to edit. On the main Filezilla screen look to the right center, it should say Remote site: /./ is the root of your PS3, kind of like the C: \ of your Windows installation. To find your trophy file, first go to dev_hdd. Next open up home and inside that folder should be a few other folders named by numbers. For example mine has - 0.
I'm not sure what the - one his so if anyone knows, feel free to enlighten me. The other ones belong to your different accounts. If you only have one account you'll only have 0. So here you can choose which account you would like to have hacked trophies for.
If you're unsure what number belongs to which account, just enter any directory and inside it you should find a file called localusername. Copy it to your computer and open it with a simple text reader (eg.
Once you've chosen your account, open the directory belong to it and then open the trophy directory. This contains all the directories with the trophy data of all your games.
It could have some directories starting with _BU_. I'm not sure what these are but don't open them. They seem to contain trophy files but when you change them, they do nothing on your PS3. Now you get to choose which game trophies you would like to edit. I don't know if there's a way to find out which game belongs to which NPWR# so it's just trial and error. Open a directory, copy the ICON0. PNG file to your computer and open it.
It's the icon of the game so you can easily tell which game the directory belongs to. If it's not the game you want, try another directory until you find the one you want.
When you found it, copy the TROPUSR. DAT file to your computer. Important: I would strongly recommend you to back this file up somewhere in case you did something wrong or you need to replace the original file when we get access to the PSN again. Editing the TROPUSR. DAT file. Activating the trophies. If you've never edited a file in a hex editor all the numbers might seem confusing and intimidating but it's actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it.
If you've never learned about hex numbers before, it's pretty simple. A hex number consists of two characters and can run from decimal 0 to 2.
Wait wut??? Well it's simple, after 9 comes a, b, c, d, e and f. So 0a equals 1. 0, 0b equals 1. Simple, right? You'll probably already have seen this in the first or second year of high school depending on your school of course. Anyway, back to the trophy editing. If you're using Ghex or Okteta, resize your window so that there are 1. FA0) as it makes it a lot easier to edit. Hex Editor Neo does this automatically.
First we have to look for the location of the trophies. This is actually the hardest part. Simply scroll through the file until you see a pattern of 0. On the same row in the eight column should be number 6. The number below the 0. ID and it starts with 0. In my example I am editing the Little.
Big. Planet trophy file. LBP counts 7. 0 trophies with all the add- ons.
Seeing as the trophy IDs start at 0 we do 7. Converting that to hex gives 4. ID of my last trophy will be 4. I can see the number 4.
In my case it's the sixth row from the end, I'm not sure if it's always the same. Here's a screenshot to help you understand. The red circles indicate the 0.
The blue circles below the 0. ID number starting with 0. Every few lines it goes up by one until the maximum amount of trophies. The green circles are the activation numbers. In the screenshot an additional two zeros have been circled but it is not necessary to ever edit those.
The yellow circles on the row below indicates the time stamp. Another mistake on the screenshot, the 4. The only numbers that shouldn't be edited are the two zeroes before the timestamp code. The ones in the first and ninth column.)Now that we know where we are and what the numbers around us means it's time to actually activate the trophies. First we need to change the total number of trophies achieved and tell the file that we got 1.
To do this, go to the first 0. ID of the first trophy) and go up 9 rows.
This row should be filled with hex numbers different from zero. Go up another two and this row should also contain some hex numbers different from zero, unless this is a clean trophy file with no trophies already achieved. Now go up one more row and change the value in the fourth column to the total number of trophies. So if your game has 5. Now go to the row below that one and change it to ff ff ff ff 0. This means that we got all the trophies required for the platinum trophy. It doesn't actually mean that we got 1.
LBP trophy list it still shows up as 7. DLC. Below is another screenshot to help you understand a bit better.
The first blue square should have the value of the total number of trophies in hex. So 5. 0 trophies equals to 3. Use a converter to find out the hex number. The second blue square indicates whether we all the trophies and should be changed to ff ff ff ff 0. The third blue square is simply there to orientate yourself upon. It should be 9 rows above the first 0.
Now we're going to actually activate all the trophies. This is a bit tedious because we have to activate them all one by one. Let's take a look at the first screenshot again. See the green circle? If the trophy is unactivated the hex numbers inside the circle will all be zeros.
Just look at the hex number 6. Also do this with your already activated trophies! For some reason some trophies have a different activation code but just to be sure change them all to 0. Do this for all the trophies and they will be activated.
However, because we activated them this way they won't have a timestamp so let's take care of that now. Adding time stamps to your trophies. For this part we'll be using the Play. Station 3 Trophy Timestamp Generator by Inaudax.

The hour uses a 2. So January is 0. 1 and not just 1. Also don't put in dates that don't exist like 3. February because it won't generate anything. When you have the hex numbers simply insert it in the TROPUSR. DAT file. Let's have another look at that screenshot. See the yellow circles below the trophy ID?
These are the hex numbers for the timestamp. The first two zeros should never be touched and neither should the ones between the two timestamps.
