= A Note on 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 [[FF7/Savemap|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.

== 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.
== 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. See the section on BIN types and LZS compression later in this document for more information.
