== KERNEL.BIN Section formats == 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. === A Note maximum allotted storage space on Section 4: Initialization data === This contains the starting stats PC version for all un-LZSed data in the characters and related game stateskernel2. On "New Game", this data bin is copied directly into the [[FF7/Savemap|Savemap]] 27KB (from offset 0x0054 to 0x0BAF27648 bytes) which is explained in the "Menu" section. This data has the same format as the data explained in means that section. == 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 total size of the file. See the section on BIN types extracted files (text and LZS compression later in pointers) must be less than this document for more information.

== Important Files ==
== The KERNEL.BIN Archive ==
The file KERNEL.BIN archive is in [[FF7/Kernel/Low_level_libraries#BIN-GZIPGZIP_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 TextFF_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.
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.
