This page documents the format of DARC.

Overview[edit]

DARC files are archives. Containers of files.

This is very similiar to NARC (the DS archives).

Offset	Size	Type	Description
0x000	4	char[4]	Magic Number 'darc'
0x004	2	uint16	Endianess (=0xFFFE: Little)
0x006	2	uint16	Header's length
0x008	4	uint32	Version
0x00C	4	uint32	File's length
0x010	4	uint32	File table offset (from the beginning of the file)
0x014	4	uint32	File table length
0x018	4	uint32	Files data offset

The file table starts at 0x01C.

Each file struct consists of 3 uint32:

Offset	Size	Type	Description
0x000	4	uint32	File name offset (from the end of the table) if (offset & 0x01000000) then this is a folder (i.e. first two nodes 'null' & '.')
0x004	4	uint32	File offset
0x008	4	uint32	File length
