ARC files are archives. Containers of files compressed with LZ-10 (more compression methods might be available).
ARC files are compressed files.  


This is very similiar to NARC (the DS archives).
Found in [[BCMA|manual files] compressed with LZ-10

=== File table ===
 
The file table starts at 0x01C.
 
Each file struct consists of 3 uint32:
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
!  Offset !!  Size !! Type !!  Description
|-
|  0x00C || 4 || uint32 || Compressed file name offset (from the end of the table, padded to 0x10)
 
if (offset & 0x01000000) then this is a folder (i.e. first two nodes 'null' & '.')
|-
|  0x004 || 4 || uint32 || Compressed file offset
|-
|  0x008 || 4 || uint32 || Compressed file length
|}
 
  * First two nodes in the file table are ‘null’ and ‘.’ both have compressed file length of 7.
 
=== Files data ===
 
  * Each file is compressed using LZ-10. (Starts with 0x10 and followed by uint24 of the uncompressed file size).
  * Each file's end is padded to 0x10 besides the last one which ends with EOF.

This page documents the format of ARC.

Overview

ARC files are compressed files.

Found in [[BCMA|manual files] compressed with LZ-10

(more compression methods might be available).
