Scene List

The Scene List is the universal source of truth PlayStation Home uses to know which scenes are valid and available for the player to enter.

It’s an XML document that contains a list of all the scenes, along with:

ID: Their in-game ID (ID)
SceneID: A UUID to distinguish them
Type: Their type (Home for apartments, PublicLobby for public spaces, etc…)
SHA1: The hash to decrypt their SDC file

Important

The SHA-1 hash is calculated on the SDC’s plaintext!

If a scene is not listed in the Scene List, it will not be available to the player, even if it’s referenced elsewhere in the game (such as the Navigator).
