General Save File Structure A Pokémon Diamond and Pearl save file is divided into two pairs of blocks. Each pair consists of one general block, one storage box block, and one hall of fame block. The storage box block contains current information regarding Bebe's storage system, including stored Pokémon, box names, box wallpapers, and the current open box. The general block contains current information on every other aspect of the game's progress, such as the trainer's name, ID number, acquired badges, party Pokémon, items, and much more. The hall of fame block contains information about the Pokémon used to defeat the Elite 4. The other pair is a backup from the previous save. The first general block in the file begins at 0x00000. The first storage block begins at 0x0C100. The first hall of fame block starts at 0x20000. The second general, storage, and hall of fame blocks are at the same address + 0x40000. The current blocks are not always stored in linear order in the save file (i.e. if the second general block is the more current, the first or second storage box block can possibly be the current as well). Block Footers The last 20 bytes of each general and storage box block is a footer. The last 24 bytes of each hall of fame block is a footer. The footer is used to determine: The size of the block Whether the block is current or a backup. Which big & small blocks link together. General/Storage Box Footer Offset Purpose 0x00 - 0x03 Storage Block Save Count 0x04 - 0x07 General Block Save Count 0x08 - 0x0B Size of block 0x0C - 0x0F Run-time usage 0x10 - 0x11 Run-time usage 0x12 - 0x13 Checksum Hall of Fame Footer Offset Purpose 0x00 - 0x03 Save ID number 0x04 - 0x07 Save index number 0x08 - 0x0B Run-time usage 0x0C - 0x0F Run-time usage 0x10 - 0x13 Size of block 0x14 - 0x15 Run-time usage 0x16 - 0x17 Checksum Loading/Saving A Save File When one starts a new game for the very first time, every byte of the save file is set to 0xFF. The first time the game is saved, the "current" info is written to the second half of the save file. This is important to note when loading a save. When the game loads a save file, it first compares the small block save count of both general blocks. If the general block with the highest save count has a correct checksum, then the game moves on to check the storage blocks. The storage block with the highest storage block save count is chosen first, and if its general block save count matches the currently chosen general block (and has a correct checksum), the file is successfully loaded. If both storage blocks have the same storage block save count, then the storage block with a higher general block save count is chosen instead, and the if the checksum is correct, the file is successfully loaded. If the checksum was incorrect for either block, the game falls on the other pair of general and storage blocks; if the checksums are correct in both, the game reports a save file corruption error, and that is the data loaded. If the checksum in either block is incorrect, the game reports a save file corruption error, and the save file is not loaded. A new game must be started at that point. When the game saves data, the general block save count is incremented + 1. If nothing in the storage block has changed, then no changes are made to the storage block and no further changes are made to the general block. However, if changes have been made to the storage block, then the storage block save count is incremented by 1 in both the storage block and general block footers. At this point, the backup general block is overwritten with the new general block data, and (if changes were made to the storage block), the backup storage block is also overwritten. This is the reason why the game varies on how long it takes to save. Thus, either general block can be linked with either storage block, and the current pair is identified using the footer information.

The WAN file format is used in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky to store animated character sprites along with map props, and even some UI elements. This format is always wrapped by a SIR0 container, and it doesn't possess its own magic number. However, it does have its own header and structure. Its one of the most complex formats used in the game. It can have a different file extension, depending on the type of sprite it contains. So far, WAN and WAT are both suffixes used for WAN sprites. General Information The file is read from bottom to the top. This is likely because of the way the content of the file is organized, and how the files are meant to be loaded into memory and used as data structures right away. The content of the file is split in 5 categories. Meta-Frames The meta-frames are basically the virtual image that the animations are referring to. They're essentially an abstraction layer above the actual images, and contain data about these ranging from which image in the image pointer table a meta-frame refers to, the actual image's resolution, whether the image should be flipped vertically or horizontally, and even more. Meta-frames can be "grouped" together in a sequence, with the last meta-frame in a group being indicated by as special bit flag. This allows the game to combine several small images together, to assemble a bigger one. The Offsets stored in the meta-frame allow positioning the images to properly assemble them. The animations refer to each meta frame, even single ones, as a meta-frame group, via index. The location of the first meta-frame of a group is stored in the Meta-Frame Groups Reference Table. Image Data The actual images are stored as pixel strips, followed with an assembly table. The table contains a list of entries indicating how to rebuild the image. The main reason the images are stored that way seems to be to remove needless zeroes that normally make the bulk of most images. The table indicates in what order to insert either a pixel strip of a certain length, or to insert the specified amount of zeroes. All the lengths of the strips of pixels, or the amount of zero to insert is always divisible by 16. The format of the image data can be either 4 bpp or 8bpp, as indicated in the WAN Header. Animations Each animation is made up of 3 things, a group, some sequences, and some frames. The groups itself is the "handle" of the animation. You can label them with an action, like "Run" for example. For character sprites(non-character sprites or special sprites follow different rules), each groups has 8 slots, each slot refers to a sequence. One for each of the 8 directions of movement. Groups may refer to the same sequence in all their slots. In character sprites, specific groups across all sprites/characters of the same type, have all the same use. For example, all character sprites' first group in the list is always the running animation! Each sequence is a list of animation frames one after the other, terminated with a null frame. Each frames contains a display duration, the index of the meta-frame group to be displayed, an offset to move slightly the image relative to the logical center of the sprite, and an offset for the shadow blob displayed under the character. Particle Offsets Not much is known about those. They're a very long list of 16 bits signed integers, meant to be read 2 by 2. They indicate the offset to display particles, like sweat drops, along with exclamation marks and etc.. For now, its unknown how the game knows which is the correct one to pick for what. Color Data This contains the palette used by all the images in the sprite. It also contains details as to where to store the palette in video memory. Still not much is known about how exactly it all works, besides the actual color palette. Overview Here's an overview of how a WAN file is laid out. Offset Length Name Description 0x00 16 SIR0 Header The SIR0 container's header. The first pointer points to the WAN Header. The second to the SIR0 Encoded Pointer Offsets List. 0x10 Varies Meta-Frame Groups Block This contains all the meta-frames groups. After Meta-Frame Groups Block Varies Animation Sequences Block Contains all the animation sequences, and the frames that makes them up. After Animation Sequences Block Varies 0xAA Padding Bytes (If needed) Some padding to align the next block on an offset divisible by 4. After Padding Bytes Varies Image Data Block Contains all the image data. After Image Data Block Varies Color Data Block Contains the palette, along with some other color information. After Color Data Block Varies Meta-Frames Reference Table A list of 4 bytes pointers, containing the offset of the first meta-frame of every meta-frame groups located inside the Meta-Frame Groups Block. After Meta-Frames Reference Table Varies Particle Offset Table A list of made of pairs of 16 bits signed integers indicating offsets to display particle effects at. After Particle Offset Table Varies Animation Groups' Sequences Reference Table Several lists of 4 bytes pointers to animation sequences inside the Animation Sequences Block. Each list is pointed to by an entry in the Animation Groups Table. After Animation Groups' Sequences Reference Table Varies Animation Groups Table A list made up of a pair of 32 bits integers, one a pointer to a list of sequence in Animation Groups' Sequences Reference Table, the other a number indicating the length of that list. After Animation Groups Table Varies Image Data Pointer Table A list of 4 bytes pointers to the assembly table of every images in the Image Data Block. After Image Data Pointer Table Varies Animation Info Structure Contains info on, and pointers to the animation data. After Animation Info Structure Varies Image Info Structure Contains info on, and pointers to the Image Data Pointer Table, and Color Data Block. After Image Info Structure Varies WAN Header Contains 2 pointers to the the 2 structures above, along with a boolean indicating whether this is a prop, or an 8 way animated sprite. After WAN Header Varies 0xAA Padding Bytes (If needed) Some padding bytes to make sure the next block starts on an offset divisible by 16. After Padding Bytes Varies SIR0 Encoded Pointer Offsets List A compressed list of every pointer pointer offsets in the file. Used to translate file-relative pointers to NDS memory relative pointers. After SIR0 Encoded Pointer Offsets List Varies 0xAA End Of File Padding Bytes (If needed) Some padding bytes to make sure the file ends on an offset divisible by 16. WAN Header The header is made up of 3 parts. The first part is just a little chunk of 12 bytes with two pointers to the 2 main parts of the header. It also contains a boolean that indicates whether the sprite follows the same format as character sprites or not. The animation info block contains various information related to how to animate the sprite, and where the various required elements to animate the sprite are located in the file. The image data info block contains details on the format of the image data stored in the file, along with the color data that all images in this sprite uses. Main Header WAN main header. (Total length 12 bytes) Offset Length Endianness Type Name Description 0x0 4 little uint32 Ptr to Anim Info A 4 bytes pointer to the part of the WAN header containing data on the sprite's animations. 0x4 4 little uint32 Ptr to Image Data Info A 4 bytes pointer to the part of the WAN header containing data on the sprite's images data. 0x8 2 little uint16 Sprite Type A 2 bytes integer value to indicate what kind of sprite this is. Known values are 0,1,3. Or Props/UI, Characters, and Unknonw, respectively. 0xA 2 little uint16 Unknown #12 Unknown purpose. Referred to as Unknown #12 for now. Animation Info Animation info block. (Total length 24 bytes) Offset Length Endianness Type Name Description 0x0 4 little uint32 Pointer to Meta-Frames Reference Table A 4 bytes pointer to the Meta-Frames Reference Table. 0x4 4 little uint32 Pointer to Particle Offset Table A 4 bytes pointer to the Particle Offset Table. This can be a null pointer, only for type 0 sprites! (UI sprites, and props) If a type 1(character sprite) sprite has no particle offsets, the pointer's value points to the end of the Meta-frame table. 0x8 4 little uint32 Pointer to Animation Groups Table A 4 bytes pointer to the Animation Groups Table. 0xA 2 little uint16 Amount of animation groups The amount of animation groups in the Animation Groups Table. 0xC 2 little uint16 Unknown #6 (Uncertain)Possibly the amount of blocks(groups of 4 tiles, possibly ?) allocated for the image in video memory. 0xE 2 little uint16 Unknown #7 Unknonw purpose. 0x10 2 little uint16 Unknown #8 Unknonw purpose. 0x12 2 little uint16 Unknown #9 Unknonw purpose. 0x14 2 little uint16 Unknown #10 Unknonw purpose. Image Data Info Image Data Info block. (Total length 16 bytes) Offset Length Endianness Type Name Description 0x0 4 little uint32 Pointer to Image Data Pointer Table A 4 bytes pointer to the Image Data Pointer Table. 0x4 4 little uint32 Pointer to Color Data Block A 4 bytes pointer to the Color Data Block. 0x8 2 little uint16 Unknown #13 (uncertain) If 1, load the first row of tiles of each images one after the other, the the second, and so on. Seems to be for very large animated sprites! 0xA 2 little uint16 Is 256 colors 8bpp A boolean value indicating whether the sprite's images should be written to video memory as 8bpp, 256 colors images. If its 0, the images are written to memory as 4bpp, 16 colors. The game can write a 4bpp image as a 8bpp to video memory properly, but the palette needs to be moved to the extended palette area, possibly by messing around with other values. Another value in the color info block needs to be set for any of this to work properly! 0xC 2 little uint16 Unknow #11 (Uncertain) Seems to move the palette around palette slots in the video memory. 0xE 2 little uint16 Amount of images The number of images in the Image Data Pointer Table. Image Data Pointer Table This is a very simple list of 4 bytes pointers to the assembly table of every image in the file. The amount of pointer in this table is specified in the Image Data Info block. Animation Groups Table A list of entries, each representing an animation group or "action". For characters, this table is usually 13 entries long, for hero/partner characters, it is at least 35 entries long. For non-character sprites, the length varies. Each entry is 8 bytes long, and made up of 2 values. The first is a 4 bytes pointer to the beginning of the list of sequence slots for this particular group in the Animation Groups' Sequences Reference Table. The Second value is a 4 bytes unsigned integer indicating the number of slots in the list, pointed to by the first value, for this particular group. Entries may be completely null, and if that's the case, there must be a corresponding null pointer in the Animation Groups' Sequences Reference Table. For example here's a typical group table( converted to big endian, as 4 bytes values, and displayed 1 entry per line! ): 0x00004AEC, 0x00000008, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00004B20, 0x00000008, 0x00004B40, 0x00000008, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00004B70, 0x00000008, And the corresponding sequence table( laid out to better where are the sequence lists for each of the groups in the group table above starts and ends ): 0x000002D6, 0x00000312, 0x0000034E, 0x0000038A, 0x000003C6, 0x00000402, 0x0000043E, 0x0000047A, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x000004B6, 0x000004DA, 0x000004FE, 0x00000522, 0x00000546, 0x0000056A, 0x0000058E, 0x000005B2, 0x000005D6, 0x000005FA, 0x0000061E, 0x00000642, 0x00000666, 0x0000068A, 0x000006AE, 0x000006D2, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x000006F6, 0x0000076E, 0x000007E6, 0x0000085E, 0x000008D6, 0x0000094E, 0x000009C6, 0x00000A3E, Notice how each null groups in the group table has a single corresponding null pointer in the sequence table below. Animation Groups' Sequences Reference Table As mentioned above this is simply a list containing pointers to animation sequences. Each entries can be though of as a slot assigned to one of the groups in the animation group table. The length of this table is determined by adding up the amount of animation sequence slots for each entries in the animation groups table. Taking care to count completely null groups as 1! Particle Offset Table Not much is known about this part. It can be completely omitted in non-character sprites. It basically contains coordinates, offsets from the center of the sprite where to display particle effects. Things like sweat drops, exclamation marks, or battle effects. The length of this block varies indiscriminately from pokemon to pokemon. Hero/Partner pokemon have more entries than other pokemon. Its unknown how the game finds what coordinate to use for what. It might be stored in another location in the game's file system. Meta-Frames Groups Reference Table This is another very simple pointer list, pointing to the first meta-frame of every meta-frame groups in the file.

The "/BALANCE/item_p.bin" file in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky/Time/Darkness contains data on every item in the game. Its a SIR0 wrapped file. Notes The item_p.bin file has a different structure in PMD:EoT/D than in PMD:EoS. Item entries in EoS are 16 bytes, while they're 24 bytes int EoT/D! In Explorers of Sky, there are 1,400 entries. In Explorers of Time/Darkness, there are 1,000 entries. File Structure (Explorers of Sky) Overview Offset Length Name Description 0x00 16 SIR0 Header A SIR0 header wrapping the item data. 0x10 (NbEntries * 16) Item Data A block containing entries for all items. After Item Data 3 SIR0 Pointer Offset List A list of encoded offsets to the pointers in the file. Since there are only the 2 pointers of the SIR0 header, those three bytes are always 0x04, 0x04, 0x00. After SIR0 Pointer Offset List 13 Padding Bytes Since all entries have a fixed size, and the SIR0 Pointer Offset List is 3 bytes long, 13 0xAA bytes are used as padding to align the end of the file on 16 bytes. Item Data The entries for each items are always 16 bytes long, and are organized this way: Item Entry (Total length 16 bytes) Offset Length Type Name Description 0x00 2 uint16 Buy Price Price to pay for the item when purchased from a shop. 0x02 2 uint16 Sell Price Price a shop will offer for the item. 0x04 1 uint8 Category Used for sorting items, and possibly to determine the way the item works. 0x05 1 uint8 SpriteID The sprite shown next to the item in the bag and on the ground. 0x06 2 uint16 ItemID The ID by which the game refers to this item ! 0x08 2 uint16 Item Parameter #1 See Item Parameter 0x0A 1 uint8 Item Parameter #2 Another parameter for items.

Parameter #1 (offset 0x08) If the item is an HM/TM, or an orb, this value is the move ID it refers to. Its also used the same way by some items, like orbs. Otherwise, with items of any other category, its role is unknown ! File Structure (Explorers of Time/Darkness) External Resources Wonder Mail S Tools, research notes.

The "monster.md" contained in the "/BALANCE" directory, contains data for every single unique entities in the game. Explorers of Sky's monster.md has a unique entity entry format. Entries in EoS are 68 bytes long, while in EoT/D they're 76 bytes long. Additionally, there is a "monster.mnd" file in EoT/D that appears to contain extra data related to entities in the "monster.md" file. File Structure Overview Offset Length Type Name Description 0x00 8 MonsterData Header A very short header for the MD format. 0x08 (NbEntries * 68) Entities Data Block A block containing entries for every entities in the game. MonsterData Header[edit] Offset Length Endianness Type Name Description 0x00 4 Magic Number The string "MD\0\0", { 0x4D, 0x44, 0x0, 0x0 }, or 0x4D440000. 0x04 4 NbEntries The amount of entries in the Entities Data Block. Entities Data Block Simply one entity's entry after another, no padding whatsoever. The file contains 1,155 entries. The Pokemon in the National Pokedex from 1 to 493 are represented in here. Entry #0 is a dummy entry. There are several reasons why the file contains 1,155 entries: Every Pokemon has a duplicate entry. One for each of its gender. Even genderless, or female/male-only species have 2 entries. Several entities are dummy placeholders, mainly copies of Arceus's data. Several entities are for special NPC characters in the game. The layout of the data is : Entries [0 to 600[ contains data for the default gender, usually male, genderless, or female. Entries [600 to 1,154] contains data for the secondary gender, either female, or invalid. The secondary entries that have their gender set to "invalid" usually are genderless or single gender specie. Move set data, level-up data, name string, category string, and a possibly a few others, are associated to the index in the "monster.md" file of the entries [0 to 600[. The only exception to this is the way pokemon faces are assigned. The kaomado.kao file contains 1,155. Which is one for every single entity entry in the "monster.md" file. This allows separate genders to have a different set of face portraits. Its used for several Pokemon that exhibit physical gender differences. A little more on kaomado.kao Species for which both gender are physically identical have a single set of portraits corresponding to the index of their primary gender entry in "monster.md", while the entry for their secondary gender are all null. The game probably falls back to the primary gender's entry when no portrait data is found for the secondary gender. Entity Entry (Explorers of Sky) Entry for a single entity follow this layout. Several things in here aren't 100% certain yet however. Entity Entry (Total length 68 bytes) Offset Length Type Name Description 0x00 2 uint16 EntityID A entity-unique ID to identify the entity in both of its 2 entries. (Independent from file index) 0x02 2 uint16 Unk#31 Unknown.

Explorers of Time/Darkness Data Specific to Explorers of Time/Darkness. Those two games have some significant differences with Explorers of Sky in the way data is stored. NDS9/ARM9 Overlays: A list of all the overlays, and what they're used for. File Structure A detailed list of the file structure of the ROM's nitro-fs filesystem. The three games share a pretty similar file structure. The differences between the three file structures will be indicated as such.
