== The file KERNEL.BIN Section formats ==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 4: Initialization data === This contains The maximum allotted storage space on the starting stats PC version for the characters and related game states. On "New Game", this all un-LZSed data is copied directly into the [[Savemap]] (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 datakernel2. Each item record bin is 27 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:rgb27KB (204,204,204); width:350px;" colspan="2" | Description|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255);" align="center" | 0x00|style="background:rgb(255,255,255);" | 8 27648 bytes|style="background:rgb(255,255,255); width: 110px;" | Unknown|style="background:rgb(255,255,255);" | Always 0xFFFFFFFF|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,204);" align="center" | 0x08|style="background:rgb(255,255,204);" | 2 bytes|style="background:rgb(255,255,204);" colspan="2" | Unknown|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255);" align="center" | 0x0A|style="background:rgb(255,255,255);" | 1 byte|style="background:rgb(255,255,255);" colspan="2" | Restriction Mask|-|style="background:rgb(204,204,255)" align="center" colspan="2" rowspan="10" | |style="background:rgb(255,255,255);" | 0xFF|style="background:rgb(255,255,255);" | Appears in Item Menu.

=== Section 3: Savemap = The KERNEL2.BIN Archive ==
On the PC version there exists a secondary kernel archive called KERNEL2.BIN. This is all the initial values and structure for most archive contains only sections 10-27 (Text data) of KERNEL.BIN. The data was ungzipped from the [[Savemap]]original archive, concatenated together, excluding the and then LZSed into a single archive with a 4 byte header data and giving the tail length of the last bank (0x0054 to 0x0FE7). This is copied into RAM on initializationfile.
