What is a .PSF2 file?

PSF2 is the PlayStation 2 variant of the Portable Sound Format - it embeds a game’s actual sound program and data so a player can emulate the console’s audio.

Did you know
  • A PSF2 plays music by running the original game code in a tiny emulator, so the tune sounds exactly as the console produced it.
  • Analyser handles .PSF2 alongside related formats such as .APE, .WV, .TAK and more.
  • In Analyser's format library, .PSF2 sits in the Audio category.

Depth of analysis
.PSF2 is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
Open a .PSF2 file
Drag a .PSF2 file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
