Format
A savegame consists of a Header, followed by a Bk Header and a set of files contained in a files section.
Header
The Header is 0xF0C0 bytes long. It is encrypted (AES128-CBC) using the "sd-key" and the "sd-iv" initialization vector.
The plaintext header contents are described in the following table.
It's divided in two parts: The "main header" and the "banner"
Main header
| Start | End | Length | Description |
| 0x0000 | 0x0007 | 8 | Savegame ID |
| 0x0008 | 0x000B | 4 | size of banner (0x72A0 or 0xF0A0) |
| 0x000C | 0x000C | 1 | permissions |
| 0x000D | 0x000D | 1 | ?? unknown |
| 0x000E | 0x001D | 16 | md5 of plaintext header with md5 blanker applied |
| 0x001E | 0x001F | 2 | ?? unknown |

Bk Header
The Bk Header is 0x70 bytes long (plus 0x10 bytes of padding/aligning). It is not encrypted.
| Start | End | Length | Description |

Files
A savegame consists of several files up to the number specified in the Bk Header. Each file is described using a File Header and a File Data section. Files are stored immediately after the Bk Header using the format described in the next sections.
File Header
The file header is 0x80 bytes long. It is not encrypted.
| Start | End | Length | Description |
| 0x000 | 0x003 | 4 | magic1 (0x03adf17e) |
| 0x004 | 0x007 | 4 | size of file |
| 0x008 | 0x008 | 1 | permissions |
| 0x009 | 0x009 | 1 | attributes |
| 0x00A | 0x00A | 1 | type (1=file, 2=directory) |
| 0x00B | variable | variable | name (null terminated) |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
| 0x050 | 0x05F | 16 | IV for file data decryption |
| 0x060 | 0x07F | ... | ?? unknown |
File Data
File data comes after the File Header. Each file actually occupies the length specified in the file header rounded up to the next 64 byte boundary. Data is encrypted (AES128-CBC) using the "sd-key" and the initialization vector specified in the File Header.
Parsing savegames
Savegames can be parsed with the savegame parser
