<center>[[Image:Gears_img_5.png]]</center> == The KERNEL.BIN Archive == The file /INIT/KERNEL.BIN is in [[BIN-GZIP|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. Sections 10-27 are [[FF Text|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(204,204,204)" | Offset|-|style="background:rgb(2550,255,2550)" alignborder="center" | 1|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Command data|stylecellspacing="background:rgb(255,255,255)1" | 0x0006|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 2|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Attack data|stylecellpadding="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x0086|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 3|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" | 5PSX Version|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Item data|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x111B|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" ! align="center" | 6|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Weapon data|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x137A|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 7|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Armor data|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x1A30|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 8|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Accessory data|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x1B73|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 9|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Materia data|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x1C11|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 10|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Command Descriptions|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x1F32|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 11|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Magic Descriptions|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x2199|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 12|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Item Descriptions|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x28D4|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 13|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Weapon Descriptions|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x2EE2|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 14|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Armor Descriptions|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x307B|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 15|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Accessory Descriptions|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x315F|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 16|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Materia Descriptions|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x3384|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 17|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Key Item Descriptions|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x3838|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 18|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Command Names|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x3BE2|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 19|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Magic Names|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x3CCA|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 20|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Item Names|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x4293|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 21|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Weapon Names|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x4651|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 22|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Armor Names|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x4B02|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 23|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Accessory Names|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x4C4B|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 24|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Materia Names|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x4D90|-|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" align="center" | 25|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | Key Item Names|style="background:rgb(255,255,255)" | 0x5040PC Version
== 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. === Section 1: Command data format === This contains the data for Menu commands. Each recored is 16 bytes long. {| borderclass="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" style="background: rgb(0,0,0)" align="centerwikitable"! style="background:rgb(204,204,204); width:50px;" align="center" | OffsetFile! style="background:rgb(204,204,204); width:50px;" | LengthData! style="background:rgb(204,204,204); width:275px;" colspan="2" | DescriptionOffset
=== 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.

== 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.
The KERNEL.BIN file consists of the following sections.

=== 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.
