HIX (Hagi IndeX) is part of an archive format found in emulated GameCube and Wii games on some Wii U Virtual Console and Nintendo Switch titles such as Super Mario 3D All-Stars. It works along with HAR files.
File Format
The file byte order is always little endian.
Header
The file starts with the following header:

| 0x04 | Int32 | Number of file entries. |

| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

| 0x08 | Byte | Unknown. Always 0? |
