By editing these files, you can change some aspects of your games, such as making them compatible with your PSN ID, enabling remote play, or changing the background music.

You can also add new fields or delete existing fields by right-clicking on the window and selecting Add Field or Delete Field.
Some fields have special meanings or functions that you should be aware of. For example:
- ATTRIBUTE: This field controls some features of the game, such as background music (bit 0), PSP/PSPVita remote play (bit 1), warnings (bit 4), etc. You can enable or disable these features by changing the value of this field using hexadecimal notation. For example, if you want to enable background music and remote play for your game, you should set ATTRIBUTE to d8cbe59d7d
