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

Criware proprietary audio format. Seems to be an archive?

AIX Files

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
