Scratchpad Filesystem

BNA archives store files in folders that do not exist on the ROM.

For example, /root/bg3d/b3d_audition_a1_ill_wat.bna exctracts a file into the folder /root/bg3d/audition_a1/ but does not create this folder itself. /root/bg3d/audition_a1.bna does create this folder, indicating something in memory is keeping track of files.

File Formats Under Research

BXR Files (Bandai? Xbox? Resources)

BXR Format
Entry Size Notes
Magic Header 0x4 "BXR0"
Unknown Data? Varies with number of resources cataloged Bulk of research to be done here
Resource Listing Varies with number of resources cataloged Plaintext, separated with 0x00

AIX Files (Audio? I???? X????)

Criware proprietary audio format. Seems to be an archive?

AIX Files
Entry Size Notes
Magic Header 0x4 "AIXF"
Metadata Header? 0x43? Some kind of metadata for the file as a whole?
Subfiles Metadata Table 0x17B3 Table of data for subfiles. Each entry 0x10 bytes. If less than 0x17B files, remaining entries are zero filled.
Subfiles Headers? 0x6A per subfile "(c)CRIAIXP" + [HEADER DATA] + 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF
Subfile Data Varies
Zero Filled Footer? ???? Unsure if part of final subfile or AIX

NSH (Namco SHader)

"Stored" in /root/effect/ scratchpad file system, found in /root/initialTemp/initialTemp.bna. Appears to be mostly SM 3.0 DXBC.

NSH Format
Offset Entry Size Description
0x0 Magic 0x4 "NSXR"
0x4 File size 0x4 Size of the entire NSH
0x8 Number of Shaders in archive? 0x1?
0x9 Constant data? Number of combined VS/PS? 0x7? 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x10 Unknown Header/Padding 0x10
0x20 Unknown 0x18 Unknown header/DXBC
0x38 Size of DXBC/ucode? 0x4 Always equal to total file size - 32 byte NSH header
0x3C Unknown 0x44 Unknown header/DXBC
0x80 Offset Table 0x80 (0x10 per entry) Offsets from start of DXBC to various sections of DXBC

Each entry is composed of a DWORD offset from end of NSH header (ex - 0xE0 points to 0x100), an unknown DWORD, a length DWORD and a second unknown DWORD

Currently known entries are Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders, Vertex Shader Globals and Pixel Shader Globals

0x100 Shader ucode Varies Compiled with XDK 4025. See Xbox 360/Hardware information/Xenos (GPU) for more info
