XEV (Xeen Event) is a filetype from Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. It defines multiple definitions of track elements.

File Format

The file byte order is always little endian.

File Header

The file starts with a header that is 0x10 bytes long.

Offset Type Description
0x00 Char[4] File magic. Always .XEV in ASCII.
0x04 Int32 Number of events.
0x08 Byte[8] Unknown.
0x10 End of header, start of Event Data

Event Data

Each event has its own format and size. They are identified by their string magic, which is always null-terminated.
