How to Edit PS3 Fast Files

PlayStation 3 (PS3) fast files or "patches" are written by computer programmers to correct, or "patch", an error in a PS3 video game or apply extra functionality. Patches that are applied to PS3 games through fast files can fix frame freezing, delayed responses, glitches and allow users to perform additional moves such as as super jumps. A PS3 fast file editor has been released as freeware for programmers wishing to edit the code in a PS3 fast file and convert it to a patch for their PS3 games.
