View source for HAR (File Format)

'''HAR''' ('''H'''agi '''AR'''chive) 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 [[HIX]] files.

= File Format =
The file byte order is always little endian.

== Header ==
The file starts with the following header:

{| class="wikitable"
! Offset !! Type !! Description
|-
| 0x00 || Char[4] || '''File magic'''. Always ''HARC'' in ASCII.
|-
| 0x04 || Int32 || '''Number of [[#File Entry|file entries]]'''.
|-
| 0x08 || Byte[4] || {{Unknown-left|'''Unknown'''.}}
|}

== File Entry ==
Each file entry is found in the corresponding [[HIX]] file. File data is stored directly after the header in the HAR file.

== File Data ==
After all nodes comes all the file data, with the file names 0x24 bytes before the data itself. There is a 2 0-byte padding before the name with unknown reason, and a UInt16 before the file data.
