<center>[[Image:Gears_img_5.png]]</center> == The KERNEL.BIN Archive == 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 KERNEL.BIN file consists of the following sections. {| border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" style="backgroundborder: rgb(0,0,0)" align="center"! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" align="center" | File! style="background1px solid black; border-collapse:rgb(204,204,204)" | Data! style="collapse; background:rgb(2040,204,204)" | Offset|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,2550)" alignborder="center" | 1|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Command data|stylecellspacing="background:rgb(255,255,255)1" | 0x0006|-|stylecellpadding="background:rgb(255,255,255)3" align="center" | 2|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Attack data|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x0086|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" ! align="center" | 3PSX Version|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Savemap|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x063A|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" ! align="center" | 4|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Character starting stats|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x0F7F|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 5|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Item data|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x111BPC Version
== The KERNEL.BIN Section formats == The first 9 sections file consists 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 following sections have a header of pointers to the text block. The text is in FF text format. === Section 1: Command data format === This contains the data for Menu commands. Each recored is 16 bytes long. {| border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" style="background: rgb(0,0,0)" align="center"! style="background:rgb(204,204,204); width:50px;" align="center" | Offset! style="background:rgb(204,204,204); width:50px;" | Length! style="background:rgb(204,204,204); width:275px;" colspan="2" | Description|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | |} === Section 2: Attack data format === This contains the data for the different attacks.

== The KERNEL.BIN Archive ==
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 6: Weapon data format = The KERNEL2.BIN Archive ==
On the PC version there exists a secondary kernel archive called KERNEL2.BIN. This archive contains the weapon only sections 10-27 (Text data) of KERNEL. Each weapon attribute is 44 bytes longBIN. 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.
