Comma-Separated Values (CSV) Format

The most common format associated with the SCV file extension is the Comma-Separated Values (CSV) format. CSV files are plain-text files that store data in tabular form, with each column separated by a comma.

Some programs may use the SCV extension in place of the more standard CSV file extension. To open a SCV file in the CSV format, you can use any standard text editor, such as Notepad or TextEdit. In addition, you can use spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc, which allows for better visualization and manipulation of the data.

Space-separated Column Visualization (SCV) Format

Another use of the SCV file extension relates to Space-separated Column Visualization format. This format is used for organizing data structured into rows and columns, but instead of using commas, it relies on spaces to separate the columns. Similar to the CSV variant, opening and using an SCV file in this format can be done using any text editor or spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc. Importing the file requires specifying the space character as the delimiter to open the file correctly.

These files are essential to save game progress and various settings. In this case, the SCV file extension is used exclusively by the game and cannot be opened or modified with standard software. You would need specialized tools, like GameFAQs save game managers or a PS3 save editor, to access and modify the PlayStation SCV save files.
