This document is about the format of Banner's CTR Wave files (BCWAV).

The structure is very similar to Microsoft's Wave file.

Banner CWAV total channels must be 2, and the length of the audio in seconds must be 3 seconds or less.

Overview

Microsoft's WAV structure is RIFF Header which defines the data inside which is WAVE, then the media player expects a "fmt " chunk and a "data" chunk. Nintendo's format uses a CWAV header (no need for a general structure for media, only wave), which points to an INFO struct (the equivalent to fmt) and a DATA struct (the equivalent to data).

Header

OFFSET	SIZE	DESCRIPTION
0x000	4	Magic (CWAV)
0x004	2	Endianness (0xFEFF = little, 0xFFFE = big)
0x006	2	Header Size (0x40 due to Info Block alignment)
0x008	4	Version (0x02010000)
0x00C	4	File Size
0x010	2	Number of Blocks (2)
0x012	2	Reserved
0x014	12	Info Block Sized Reference (Offset relative to start of file)
0x020	12	Data Block Sized Reference (Offset relative to start of file)
