Home Menu/Themes
This page describes the formats/structure of the data stored in RomFS for Home Menu DLC, for themes.
Control Content
The control content has content-index 0. It's unknown what if any of this is Home Menu specific.
RomFS structure:
- "MetaDataContentHeader.bin": Unknown, size is 0x44-bytes.
- "ContentInfoArchive_<region>_<lang>.bin" Contains the list of all DLC content available under this DLC title(which can include DLC that's not yet accessible via the shop). <region> can be "USA", etc. <lang>, for the US title: "en", "es", "fr", and "pt".
- "icons/<decimal_id>.icn" Contains the raw DLC icon image data, without any header. 48x48 tiled RGB565.
ContentInfoArchive entry format, size 0xC8(this file contains the following entry for each of the DLC content):
| Relative offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x4 | Content index - 1 |
| 0x4 | 0x4 | 0x0 = disabled, 0x1 = enabled. |
| 0x8 | 0x40 | char string for the title text. |
| 0x48 | 0x88 | char string for the description text. |
The first entry is a "header": contentindex val=1, second word = <total DLC content excluding DLC control content>. The two strings are set to dummy text.

The filesize is aligned to 0x10-bytes. The filesize must be at least 0xC4-bytes, due to padding/alignment the first block of data after the header is normally located at 0xD0.
With the solid-color data, there's 5-bytes located at the solid-color data offset. With draw-type val2, there's 7-bytes located here. The first 4-bytes located here is RGBA8888 pixel data, the rest is unknown.
With draw-type val2, texture5 is also used(this likely isn't used for the entire top-screen). With draw-type val2, an extra texture with the same format/dimensions as texture5 can be used, when the additional texture offset field is set.

The audio data section contains the sound effects for this theme.
Audio data entry structure:
| Offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | Y (see below) | Additional data for CWAV 6, see below. |
| Y + 0x0 | 0x4 | CWAV size. |
| Y + 0x4 | 0x4 | Unknown |
| Y + 0x8 | X (see below) | Additional data for CWAV 4, see below. |
| Y + 0x8 + X | CWAV |
Structure of the data starting at offset 0x0, from the above entry, for the additional data with CWAV 7:
| Relative offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x10 | ? |
Y / the size of this block, is 0x10-bytes.
Structure of the data starting at offset 0x8, from the above entry, for the additional data with CWAV 4:
| Relative offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x2C | ? |
X / the size of this block, is 0x2C-bytes.
The number of CWAVs seems to be fixed to 7? The CWAVs are used for the following:
- 0: Cursor movement
- 1: Application launch
- 2: Certain buttons
- 3: Cancel buttons
- 4: When cursor would be moved off the screen, left/right
- 5: When cursor is moved a screen-worth of icons across
- 6: Folder buttons
Built-in themes
The built-in themes are stored at Home Menu RomFS:/theme/<Color>_LZ.bin, the format appears to be the same as body_LZ.bin in the theme DLC content.
