The edat file extension is associated with Sony PlayStation 3 consoles and Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) systems. The format is used for data that the console must decrypt before it can use it.
An edat file may contain game or system data such as themes, add-ons, or mods. It is a proprietary encrypted file rather than a format intended for direct editing on a computer.
An edat file is normally opened or processed by the Sony PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable system that uses it. The console's system software decrypts the file as part of accessing the associated game or system content.
These files are not normally readable on a computer, and access may depend on the associated console content or license.
An edat file generally cannot be converted to another format. Its contents are encrypted and intended for use by compatible PlayStation system software, so ordinary file converters cannot export them meaningfully.
If the file is part of PlayStation content, it should be kept with that content and used on the compatible PlayStation 3 or PSP system rather than converted.
