The BCSAR (Binary CTR Sound ARchive) format is the 3DS's equivalent of the Wii's BRSAR  format. They're not the same structures, though, but they do have the same purpose.
== Overview ==
 
The BCSAR (CTR Sound ARchive) format is the 3DS's equivalent of the Wii's BRSAR  format. They're not the same structures, though, but they do have the same purpose.


BCSAR are located in the RomFS, this is usually stored under "romfs:/sound/<name>.bcsar". This contains various audio formats, such as CSTM, CWSD, and CWAV.

==== Blocks ====
Every offset in the header points to data similar to this:
* 4byte length
* length array of the below struct
** u32 type
** u32 offset relative to the address of the length field (beginning of the block)
The data the offset points to is dependent on the type of the above struct:
