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).

This document is about the format of Binary CTR Wave files (BCWAV). The structure is very similar to Microsoft's Wave file.

Overview[edit]

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[edit]

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
