What is "SAS"

Otherwise known as Save Application System, SAS apps/folders are single directory folders that play nice with the memory card filesystem as subdirectories can easily break it.

SAS Applications include:

  • Memory Card icons for visual indicator as to apps purpose and critical status to your boot environment.

  • title.cfg for other apps such as OSDMenu, OPL, OSD-XMB and PSBBN DEP to list apps to run without user intervention.

  • Prefix (if app supported) such as APP_OPL (Application) or DST_ROMVERCHK (Diagnostic Service Tool) for organization.

  • Packaged via a container called a psu. This is used to transfer game saves, but adopted for SAS so that all assets are contained. Even date/time is preserved so that Apps are always in order alphabetically by type in the MC Browser!
