Overview[edit]

MPO = Multi-Picture Object

Document describing the file format used in mpo files: http://www.cipa.jp/std/documents/e/DC-007_E.pdf

Nintendo uses a common format for its 3D pictures. MPO is basically two JPG files concatenated in one file. The two JPG files has an EXIF data structure in their headers (This was developed by CIPA).

EXIF is a standard that specifies the formats for images, sound, and ancillary tags used by digital cameras (including smartphones), scanners and other systems handling image and sound files recorded by digital cameras.[1]

Nintendo's EXIF MakerNote Tag[edit]

This still need to be figured out:

The MakerNote is made with Tiff Exif information (Big Endian)

first 2 bytes are the IFD Count (IFD is a 12 byte tag), Regulary there are 2 IFDs.

IFD structure

Tag Type Count/Value Value/Offset
2 bytes 2 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes

Nintendo's IFDs

Tag Desc Type Count/Value Value/Offset
0x1100 Software-specific data 7-Undefined Count Count=1 ? Value : Offset
0x1101 Nintendo 64byte Note 7-Undefined Count Offset

After the IFDs comes a 4 byte Zero ( {0,0,0,0} ).

And then the Data the IFDs point at (if at all)

Nintendo's 64Byte Note

Different from the wrapping structure this structure is Little-Endian.
