m (Fix small math error in Vector2 size.)
(Updated description and information of multiple sections and added info on wnd1 and bnd1, while also fixing an error in usd1. Added links to more sources (Mario Kart Wii Wiki & Switch Toolbox) and updated old links (EFE and florian.nouwt))

Tools[edit]

  • Every File Explorer and Switch Toolbox both have limited support for viewing these.
  • Clypo allows exporting these files to yml and importing back to bclyt but it only supports scale, size, translation and rotation of panes.
