IMG + IDX

• Format type: Archive
• Endianness: Little-endian

Format Specifications

// IDX FILE

// for each file

uint32 {4}   - File Offset

uint32 {4}   - Compressed File Length

uint32 {4}   - Decompressed File Length

uint32 {4}   - Unused

// IMG FILE

// for each file

char {4}     - File Header (GT20)

uint32 {4}   - Decompressed File Length

uint32 {4}   - Unused (Same as the Unused field in the IDX File)

uint32 {4}   - Length of additional Information

char {X}     - Additional Information

byte {X}     - Compressed Data

Compressed Data:

uint32 {4}   - 'ControlBits'

char {X}     - Compressed Data

uint32 {4}   - 'ControlBits'

char {X}     - Compressed Data

..

The ControlBits say how to decompress the data.

Whether the Bit is 0 and the next Byte is not compressed,

or the Bit is 1 and the next Byte(s) is/are compressed.

If the next Byte(s) is/are compressed, the next ControlBit say how its compressed.

The Next Bit is 0:

The decompressor reads the next Byte from the Data.

This Byte OR FFFFFF00 (int32) say the decompressor how much bytes to go back.

From that position the decompressor copies 2 bytes to the end of the already decompressed Data.

If the next ControlBit is 1 the decompressor copies 2 additional Bytes.

If the next ControlBit is 1 the decompressor copies 1 additional Byte.

The Next Bit is 1:

The decompressor reads the two next Bytes.

The first three bits of theese is the number of bytes to copy-2.

The rest 13 bits OR FFFFE000 (int32) defines the position from where the bytes have to be copied.

If the number of bytes to copy is 0, the decompressor reads also the next byte.

The first bit of this byte indicates that 2^14 will be deducated from the position from where the bytes have to be copied.

The rest is the number of bytes to copy-2. If this is again 0, the decompressor have to read the next 2 bytes, which is the number of bytes to copy.
