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.
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.
Theme Content

- "bgm.bcstm": Background music, see here.
