The 0x60 header is followed by the SNES ROM, often altered to replace audio samples with pointers to external PCM audio files converted from the game, presumably to speed up emulation (these pointers can be found by looking for "PCMF" in the ROM, as seen on [https://github.com/Plombo/vcromclaim/blob/master/snesrestore.py Wii VC]).

The ROM is then followed by the PCM audio files, optionally by the SDD-1 decompressed graphics data (presumably the emulator doesn't properly emulate the chip because of hardware constraints) and by a footer which appears to be an index for the PCM audio data.

There are no specific setting fields for games, and it appears that there are "game presets" stored in the emulator code, which determines the cart expansion chip and probably more game-specific settings. Each official VC release has a different preset ID in the header.
