The file /INIT/KERNEL.BIN is in BIN-GZIP format. This format is explained later in this document. It consists of 27 gziped sections concatenated together with a 6 byte header for each. This file is the same both on the PC and PSX versions. This holds all the static data and menu text for the game, with a look up table at the beginning of the section. Sections 10-27 are FF Text files.

The first 9 sections of data (i.e. The non-text related items) have a typical BIN file format. The text sections (10-27) do not have the typical 6 byte header. The text sections have a header of pointers to the text block. The text is in FF text format.
+
The file KERNEL.BIN archive is in [[FF7/Kernel/Low_level_libraries#BIN-GZIP_Type_Archives|BIN-GZIP format]]. It consists of 27 gziped sections concatenated together with a 6 byte header for each. This file is the same both on the PC and PSX versions. This holds all the static data and menu text for the game, with a look up table at the beginning of the section. The first 9 sections of data (i.e. The non-text related items) are in typical BIN file archive format. Sections 10-27 are [[FF7/FF_Text|FF Text files]]. The text sections have a header of pointers at the beginning of each section and point to a text block below.

=== Section 3: Savemap ===
+
== The KERNEL2.BIN Archive  ==
−
 
 
−
This is all the initial values and structure for most of the Savemap, excluding the header data and the tail of the last bank (0x0054 to 0x0FE7). This is copied into RAM on initialization. This format is explained in the "Menu" Section.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Section 4: Initialization data ===
 
−
 
 
−
This contains the starting stats for the characters and related game states. On "New Game", this data is copied directly into the save map (from offset 0x0054 to 0x0BAF) which is explained in the "Menu" section. This data has the same format as the data explained in that section.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Section 5: Item data format ===
 
  
−
This contains the item data. Each item record is 27 bytes long.  
+
On the PC version there exists a secondary kernel archive called KERNEL2.BIN. This archive contains only sections 10-27 (Text data) of KERNEL.BIN. The data was ungzipped from the original archive, concatenated together, and then LZSed into a single archive with a 4 byte header giving the length of the file.
  
−
{| border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" style="background: rgb(0,0,0)" align="center"
+
The maximum allotted storage space on the PC version for all un-LZSed data in the kernel2.bin is 27KB (27648 bytes). This means that the total size of the extracted files (text and pointers) must be less than this.

The KERNEL.BIN Archive

The file KERNEL.BIN archive is in BIN-GZIP format. It consists of 27 gziped sections concatenated together with a 6 byte header for each. This file is the same both on the PC and PSX versions. This holds all the static data and menu text for the game, with a look up table at the beginning of the section. The first 9 sections of data (i.e. The non-text related items) are in typical BIN file archive format. Sections 10-27 are FF Text files. The text sections have a header of pointers at the beginning of each section and point to a text block below.

The KERNEL.BIN file consists of the following sections.

The KERNEL2.BIN Archive

On the PC version there exists a secondary kernel archive called KERNEL2.BIN. This archive contains only sections 10-27 (Text data) of KERNEL.BIN. The data was ungzipped from the original archive, concatenated together, and then LZSed into a single archive with a 4 byte header giving the length of the file.

The maximum allotted storage space on the PC version for all un-LZSed data in the kernel2.bin is 27KB (27648 bytes). This means that the total size of the extracted files (text and pointers) must be less than this.
