[[Category:File formats]]
The SHBIN (SHader BINary) file is used to contain compiled and linked shader programs. These can include vertex shaders (typically compiled from .vsh files) and geometry shaders (typically compiled from .gsh files, though .asm have been observed).
The SHBIN (SHader BINary) format is used to contain compiled and linked shader programs. These can include vertex shaders and geometry shaders. In commercial applications, SHBIN files can be found as standalone files with the extension .shbin, or within container formats like, for example, [[CGFX]] (with the extension .bcsdr). They are typically compiled from .vsh files, .gsh files, and sometimes .asm files.
In commercial games/apps, SHBIN files can be found as standalone files with the extension .shbin, or contained within .bcsdr files. BCSDR files use CGFX as a container, but the underlying DVLB/DVLP/DVLE structure remains unchanged.
A SHBIN's structure starts with a header, then a DVLP, then DVLE(s).
A SHBIN's structure starts with a binary header (DVLB), then a single program header (DVLP), then one or more executable headers DVLE(s). The binary header specifies the number and location of DVLEs. The program header specifies the generic parts of the shader (i.e. the shader program data, the operand descriptor data, and a filename symbol table). The executable headers specify the contextual details (i.e. entry point, constant values, debug symbols, etc). There may be multiple executable headers, so in this sense multiple shaders sharing the same program code can be stored in a single SHBIN. Hence for the following, note the distinction between "program" and "executable".

The DVLP file comes directly after the header.

=== Constant Table Entry ===
Each executable's constants are stored in a constant table. This information is used by ctrulib's SHDR framework to automatically send those values to the GPU when changing to a given program. An entry is constituted by a header and the constant data, the latter of which uses a format specific to the constant type.

=== Uniform Table Entry ===
Keep in mind that the usage of the term "Uniform" here is used as [https://developer.download.nvidia.com/CgTutorial/cg_tutorial_chapter03.html defined by Nvidia] (variable who obtains its initial value from an external environment) and not as defined by RenderMan/GLSL (variables whose values are constant over a shaded surface).
The uniform table contains a list of all registers whose initial values are derived by an external source along with their layout and associated symbol.
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
|-
| 0x4
| 0x4
| 0x2
| 0x2
| Variable start register
| Register index of the start of the uniform
|-
|-
| 0x6
| 0x6
| 0x2
| 0x2
| Variable end register
| Register index of the end of the uniform (equal to start register for non-arrays)
|-
|}
The register indices refer to a unified register space for non-output registers. The mapping of register index values to registers is the following:
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-

|-

| b0-b15
|-

== DVOJ ==
There is another file format for shaders, which starts with the string "DVOJ". This format seems to be used for unlinked shader objects. It seems likely that one or multiple DVOJs can be linked to a DVLB file, similarly to the C compilation model.
Structurally, a DVOJ header captures all information there is about a single shader instance. It uses the same fields like the DVLB, DVLP, and DVLE structures, but also stores two unknown blocks of data. It seems that the entry point of a DVOJ is always the first shader instruction.
All offsets in the following table are given relative to the DVOJ start.

=== Unknown Block 1 Item ===
A wild guess is that this denotes shader source line information. Take the information with a grain of salt, though, since it hasn't been backed by any empirical data so far.
The index N of the item within Unknown Block 1 corresponds to the Nth instruction in the shader binary.
