I have found a way to open PS3 Patches in FFViewer! It's very simple.
What you'll need:
Offzip
FFViewer
In Offzip, you'll need to extract the blocks from a patch like normal except you'll use these parameters
offzip -a -1 -z -15(-1 is very important)
After that, put your original patch and the single extracted file(it should be something like 00000027.dat) into the same folder. Rename the .dat file to *whateverpatchisnamed*-extract.dat(such as treepatch-extract.dat).
In the folder where your patch is, there should be 2 files:
patchname-extract.dat
patchname.ff
After this, go to FFViewer, go to File--> Open Extracted Fastfile, and select the patch. If it all goes right, you should now be viewing a PS3 patch in FFViewer!
A lot simpler if you just wanna look at the code, you only need 2 files.
But sometimes, it messes up and certain GSCs aren't shown(FFViewer reports them having 0 bytes in them)
I will not tell you how to actually edit the file, too much to type lol.
Fully works with CoD4 and WaW patches aswell!
I'm working on having the ability to Open AND Save a PS3 Patch_mp.ff in FFViewer!

ROLL TIDE!!!
Didn't read whole thread, (Sorry)
I will say this. It "DOES" work. But just like they said it is buggy.
Example, my patch. I opened it. It showed Everything "Except" the GSCs that I have changed. (Rank, and Missions...so far..still working on it.)
But it showed all others. Just came up blank page on two I have modded.
So, if your not getting this to work, your doing something wrong, it defently works just like they said.
Also, Very nice find.!!

To the people who are saying it doesnt work. Make sure your patch isn't named "patch_mp.ff" if it is rename it to "patch" then do the decompression "-a -1 -z -15" and rename the .dat file to "patch-extract" I was trying this for ages and relised its because my .dat file was called patch_mp-extract which was causing an error on the .ff viewer
