.AXF - Pre-assembled ARM code. Before being linked into the [[ExeFS]] '.code' format. These are ARM specific ELF files. The Plain Region found in the CXI is also obtained from this file.

.BNR - Simply contains a .[[CBMD]] and a .[[BCWAV]]. The .[[CBMD]] has added padding, to make sure the .[[BCWAV]] is aligned to 0x10 bytes. It contains nothing else.(~~The~~ .[[CBMD]] file's header is edited to reflect its new size)

.CGRP - CTR GRouP - Used to package several formats like (CWAR, CWAV, CWSD, CBNK, CSEQ, ~~ect~~...) sort of like the Wii's MRG format. (~~they~~ aren't the same structures but both package together several formats)

The 3DS filesystem requires absolute paths. It can handle either short (8.3) and long (255 char maximum) file names.
