Contained within runtime.sdat in Beyond Two Souls, once decrypted, it gives an INI file containing a set of options. Such options include cheat enabling and debug mode. There is also a section in the file called BigFile_PS3.dat where you can change a variable contained in it to enable cheat mode. I won't supply this file as it's 2gb for only a 1 byte change. I cannot take credit for this file but I haven't figured out a simple way to decrypt the file and re-encrypt it. All credit for this goes to a Chinese modder named "Luckystar Chinese" (Luckystar中文) for this file. If I can do so myself I will replace the file. Prerequisites -Access to the HDD to replace the runtime.sdat file -DO NOT have patch 1.02 installed as it disabled usage of this -Hex editor Modified runtime.sdat Spoiler https://mega.nz/#!m9wyBLQY!I_--jJp772lYOYFoled1LwRPJ6W4v2HbXcf8WtAUeBM Modifying BigFile_PS3.dat Spoiler: DIY 1) ALWAYS CREATE A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING 2) In your preferred Hex editor (I use HxD, free and easy) load BigFile_PS3.dat 3) Search for text string "QDR.Infraworld_Var.BootCheat" (or go to offset 61266 for the exact value to change) 4) Once located you'll see " = 0" after that string (or you'll have "0" highlighted). Change "0" to "4" 5) Save it and replace the one on the PS3 HDD with your newly changed one. The file goes into the game's USRDIR folder to replace the one currently on the HDD installation. This varies on install location but it should be under your GAMES folder or game folder for multiman. Once replaced, load up the game. Once at the main menu you'll be greeted with nothing except for 4 options: Launch Game, Production Chapters, Prototypes and Menu E3. Push L3 on the P1 controller to bring up the QA Menu. L1 and R1 change pages Spoiler: Image of the QA Menu and Boot Screen Album here http://imgur.com/a/8DsLc Here's what each function does. Divided spoilers according to page number. Spoiler: Page 1 - Global Font Zoom Factor - Changes how large to display the QA Menu. 1, 1.5, 2 Pause - Whatever is happening in that instant is paused without the pause menu. Cannot be used everywhere (like the main menu) Gameplay Override - Cheat Mode - Allows you to go to various areas like the Sandbox mode Display Camera Address - Information about the current camera angle, position, and rotation Free Camera - Self explanatory. Camera with no restriction. Controls with DPAD and Left/Right analog sticks Virtual Camera - Reset Freecam to ZERO - Resets the freecam position/angle/rotation Take Screenshot - Self explanatory Enable Dart Messages - Enable Display FPS - Displays current in-game FPS Enable Display OUTOFMEM - Spoiler: Page 2 - Dialogs Pause - Pauses current dialog Change subtitle language - Changes subtitles. English, French, and None Change audio language - Changes current language between English and French Display dialogs IDs - Shows the IS of current spoken dialog or text (may need to check this one more) Spoiler: Page 3 - Animations Character - Selects current model to alter animations. Varies based on models present in scene. Null selects none. Pause - Pauses animations (doesn't work on the main menu) Camera selection - Changes between other cameras present in scene (will have to check this) Free camera - Like the last free camera Take screenshot - Self explanatory Some of these I need to look over and correct info on but this should cover about everything. And we all know why this game was controversial so don't get too carried away. I also modified the PARAM.SFO to allow 1080p display options. I can share that file too but it's not as important.

I cannot tell you just how annoying it was to get that file. Changing the value on the dat sure, but the sdat nah.
I did. I linked the album in the spoiler named "Image of the QA Menu and Boot screen" http://imgur.com/a/8DsLc There is one page I forgot which was the E3 one, but there's not too much going on there. I'll have to grab a quick pic of it soon,
Well... looks like I'll have to load up some nice quality ones... Should I do it in 1080p or keep it at 720p? It has weird issues on the pause screen if its in 1080 as it wasn't programmed to handle that resolution when paused.
