This article is about the file format in general. For actual values, check the game RomFS.

FixedHash is a custom Grezzo format for serializing hash tables that map string keys to arbitrary binary blobs.

Hash function

String keys are hashed using the following hash function:

u32 Hash(const char* key) {
  u32 hash = 0;
  while (*key) {
    hash ^= *key++ + (h >> 2) + (h << 5);
  }
  return hash;
}

Format

Offset	Type	Description
0x0	u8	Magic (must be 0x3D)
0x1	u8	Version (must be 1)
0x2	u16	Number of hash table buckets (N)
0x4	u16	Number of child FixedHash nodes
0x6	u16	Padding? [check]
0x8	u32[N + 1]	Offsets to the first entry in each bucket (relative to the Entries section)
X = (0x8 + 4*(N+1) + 3) & -8	u64	Entries section size
X + 8	Entry[...]	Entries
Y = X + entries section size	u64	Entry offsets section size
Y + 8	u32[...]	Entry offsets (relative to the Entries section)
Z = Y + entry offset section size	u64	Data section size
Z + 8	any	Data
A = Z + data section size	u32	Name section size
