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": Describes the number of themes and languages in the control content.
- "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.
MetaDataContentHeader.bin format:
| Relative offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x4 | Version - always 0x1 |
| 0x4 | 0x4 | Number of enabled themes |
| 0x8 | 0x4 | Total number of themes |
| 0xC | 0x4 | Observed 0x300030 |
| 0x10 | 0x4 | Magic, 0xDEADBEEF |
| 0x14..0x2C | 0x4 | This data is sorted by region (JPN at 0x14, US at 0x18, etc.) |
| 0x30 | 0x4 | Number of ContentInfoArchive languages |
| 0x34+i | 0x2 | ContentInfoArchive region |
| 0x36+i | 0x2 | ContentInfoArchive language |
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 (little endian) |
| 0x4 | 0x4 | 0x0 = disabled, 0x1 = enabled. |
| 0x8 | 0x40 | char string for the title text. |
| 0x48 | 0x80 | 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.

| 0x14 | 0x4 | Offset for the top screen solid color data. Length of data is either 5 or 7, depending on whether the top screen's draw type is 1 or 2. If draw-type = 1, the first three bytes are the background colour, the next adjusts the background gradient (0=none, 255=fade all the way to white at the top), and the last controls the opacity of the squares that float in front of the background. |
| 0x18 | 0x4 | Top screen texture offset, see below. |

| 0x20 | 0x4 | Must be <4. Bottom screen draw type: 0 = none, 1 = solid color(see below), 2 = invalid, 3 = texture. |
| 0x24 | 0x4 | Bottom screen frame type, when draw-type is 3: 0 = texture4 (regular scroll), 1 = texture2 (no scroll), 2 = texture3 (flipbook scroll, 0 > 1 > 2 > 0), 3 = texture4 (slow scroll), 4 = texture3 (flipbook scroll, 0 > 1 > 2 > 1 > 0). |
| 0x28 | 0x4 | Bottom Screen texture offset. |

| 0xB0 | 0x4 | Must be <2. 1 = enables usage of the following field. |
| 0xB4 | 0x4 | Offset to a 0x6-byte block. The block contains two RGB888 values: the background colour and text colour for the message that tells you how many demo uses you have remaining. |

| 0xBC | 0x4 | Audio data section size, this must be <=0x2DC00. |
| 0xC0 | 0x4 | Offset for the audio data section. |
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 has value 2, 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.

Audio data section
| Offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x4 | Unknown |
| 0x4 | 0x4 | Unknown |
| 0x8 | Beginning of the audio data entries.Each .cwav has an 8 byte "header" before the "Magic" (cwav) the first two bytes tell the 3ds where the next audio entry isand is the same as its cwav's filesize (See below). Bytes 3 + 4 are zeroes and byte 5 controls the cwav's volume (0-100) the last three bytes are zeroes again |
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.
It's unknown how exactly the number of CWAVs is controlled. 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.
