CBMD - CTR Banner Model Data

This page describes the format used for banners' models. These are stored in CXI ExeFS:/banner and optionally in extdata exbanner.

CBMD is a container file for CGFX blocks.

This file type is used for banners of titles you see in the home menu. Different regions have different CGFX (like Pushmo is called Pullblox in Europe).

This file is usually found in BNR files (which can be made using Xcution's CiTRUS)
