location: /dev_flash/vsh/resource/qgl
QRC files ('''Q'''t '''R'''esources '''C'''ontainer) are located inside a QGL folder ('''Q'''t '''G'''raphics '''L'''ibrary) in path: '''dev_flash/vsh/resource/qgl''' with names: [[canyon.qrc]], [[earth.qrc]], [[icons.qrc]], [[icontex.qrc]], [[lines.qrc]], [[raf.qrc]], [[rhm.qrc]], and [[store.qrc]]. The contents of QRC files are compatible/generated with/by: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28framework%29 Qt framework] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL OpenGL]


The internal structure of QRC files can be clasifyed as one of the variants of a group of containers named: [[CXML Containers]]
== General format ==
QGL ('''Q'''t '''G'''raphics '''L'''ibrary) based in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28framework%29 Qt framework] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL OpenGL]

====File-BIO Table====
Default entry size is 49 bytes (offset 0x30), the last entry is a bit special because is not linked to a file. The '''File-BIO Table''' defines the Offset, Size and Filename pointer of each file contained in the File Table. There is a total padding of 52 bytes (0x34) between each entry but first we have a unique* padding of 92 byte (0x5C) before the first entry starts (see '''Structure File-BIO Table''' below). After that, the first 4 bytes are the Offset and the next 4 bytes are the Size of the file from the '''File Table'''. The padding have a structure which is for every QRC the same. First 8 bytes are compiled of 2x 4 bytes which are always 0x00000018 & 0x00000007. Next 4 bytes are a variable (need more analyzing). Next 16 bytes are compiled of 4x 4 bytes which are always 0x00000000, 0x0000000F, 0x00000002 & 0x0000001C. Next 4 bytes are the pointer for the '''Filename''' from the '''Filename Table'''. Next 4 bytes are the offset within the '''File-BIO Table''' for the next '''Filename pointer'''. Last 16 bytes are compiled of 1x 8 bytes and 2x 4 bytes which are alwys 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, 0x00000014 & 0x00000006.

====Filename Table====
Each entry is composed by:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Offset !! Length !! Example !! Name !! Notes
|-
| 0x0 || 0x4 || 00000038 || '''File-BIO Table entry offset''' || Same value than in the '''File-BIO Table'''
|-
| 0x4 || ''variable'' || lib/rhm/Clear.fpo || '''File name''' ||
|-
| ''variable'' || 0x1 || 00 || '''NULL byte''' ||
|}
*The end of the table has a padding to align to 0x10 bytes

===ZLIB archivers===
*BIN (Binary)
QRC files are compressed in ZLIB, and has 8 bytes added at the start of the file. To be able to use a generic zlib archiver is needed to remove this 8 bytes (and is needed to add them in the last step when rebuilding the QRC file)

== QRC related tools ==
*Usage:
**Open the program and click in the tab at top: [External progs] ---> [ZLIB (pack/unpack)]
**A window opens where you can select the file
**Choose [Decompress] or [Compress], then click in [Start]


=== ZLIB ===
==== QGL converter ====
QRC files uses [[Template:Zlib Header|ZLIB]] compression level 9, there are 2 types of QRC files that can be recognized by reading the first 4 bytes either QRCC or QRCF, the next 4 bytes indicates the decompressed size. The first step to extract QRC contents is to remove this 8 bytes at the start of the file. After removed the resulting file is in zlib format
This tool can decompress a QRCC to QRCF and compress a QRCF to QRCC (it crops/generates the first 8 bytes and manages the zlib decompression/compression)


*'''QGL converter''' - This code can decompress a QRCC to QRCF and compress a QRCF to QRCC (it crops/generates the first 8 bytes and manages the zlib decompression/compression) [https://raw.github.com/wargio/ps3tools/master/QGL.c QGL.c]
https://raw.github.com/wargio/ps3tools/master/QGL.c (just run make to compile it)
*'''Zlib GUI v1.0''' - Nice GUI to work with the zlib dll. Download: [http://www.f2065.ru/soft/ZLib_GUI_en.htm official link], or [http://www.psx-place.com/resources/zlib-gui.716/ alternative link]

*<s>'''P3Textractor''' - Is posible to use a theme extractor to extract the contents from .qrc files, but first is needed to replace the characters '''/''' by '''_''' of the text strings inside the '''Name table''' with a hexeditor (e.g: the string '''override/black/ICONS.mnu''' needs to be replaced by '''override_black_ICONS.mnu''')</s>. Dont use this method, is too much innacurate and obsolete, is kept here only for historical purposes
*Notes
*'''CXML decompiler v4 alpha''' - Is a python script to extract the contents of CXML containers (CXML, QRCF, P3TF, RAFO, etc...), and also generates an .xml that represents the original CXML structure. To use it copy the script at bottom of [[CXML Containers]] page and save it to your PC as '''script.py'''. Then run it from the command line and follow the instructions, it requires [https://www.python.org/downloads/ python 2]
**Some of the images are inverted vertically (only .dds?)
 
==== P3Textractor ====
Is posible to use a theme extractor to extract the contents from .qrc files, but first is needed to replace the characters '''/''' by '''_''' of the text strings inside the '''Name table''' with a hexeditor (e.g: the string '''override/black/ICONS.mnu''' needs to be replaced by '''override_black_ICONS.mnu''')
This patching of the text strings can be automated by selecting the whole '''Name table''' in hexeditor and the function "replace string" (replacing the text string '''/''' by '''_''' automatically only in the selected area)
 
P3Textractor manual: http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Themes_(.p3t)#P3Textractor
 
*Notes
**P3Textractor renames .dds file extensions to .gim in the extraction process... so is needed to change back the file extensions manually to .dds for further edits in other programs
**This same trick with P3Textractor can be used with .raf files
 
=== Raw extractors ===
 
==== Generic Tiny little extractor ====
Theses generic tiny little tools extract '''blindly''' (they just don t want to stop) & embedded (and so, output bigger files when it s not) files and are means to be tiny and independent. Extremely Heavily based on an [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Talk:Content_Information_Files MPO splitter] by Christian Steinruecken. Formats supported DDS/MNU/JPG/MPO/PNG (and virtually any other by modifying the source code)

=== QRC Compilers ===
=== QRC Compilers ===
There are no .qrc compilers, the usual method to modify qrc files is by patching the text strings of the .MNU settings or to inject the custom files with a hexeditor overriting the original .qrc file structure
There are no compilers for .qrc files, the commonly used method consist in patching settings values in text strings (or to inject the modded files) with a hexeditor over the original .qrc file
 
This limits the mods to patches than never exceeeds the size of the original data... in the case of patching an area with an smaller patch is recommended to fill the original "trash" data with zeroes
 
==== Patching strings in hexeditor ====
Mostly used with the settings inside .mnu files
 
First extract the files with some of the extractor tool, open the .mnu files in notepad++ to be able to read the settings in a easy way
 
Select the string you want to modify and "copy" his name
 
Open the .qrc file in hexeditor (after ZLIB decompression if needed) and use the search funtion to locate the string you copyed previously


The patches should never exceeed the size of the original data, incase of patching an predefined area with an smaller patch is recommended to "blank" the original data with zeroes before writing the new data
*Notes
**Most of the settings inside .mnu files are repeated several times inside the .qrc file because are used in several .mnu files... be sure to patch the correct .mnu file by comparing the rest of the data at his side


The format allows also to "remap" the contained files by modifying the entries in the index to make them point to the offset/size of a different file
==== Injecting files in hexeditor ====
Similar than patching a text string, but with a bigger chunk of data

**Corrections:
**Indirectly related: raf.sprx <--- generic animations
***The concept of PAL/NTSC wave is wrong. The wave is common for all PS3 models, resolutions, aspect ratios, and regions. The 8 bytes at the start of the file doesnt has any relationship with PAL/NTSC
 
***There is no javascript inside the QRC container, the supposed .js file used in glowball method is a chunk of data containing several .mnu files (included the padding between them)
===lines.qrc===
***The idea of an "imaginary" javascript hides the real explain of the structure or what you are patching, making users to dont understand a word and promoting the "blind testing"
{{lines.qrc}}
***In the case you want to patch 1 byte... you are patching a huge area instead
 
***Using hardcoded offsets is a safe way to break compatility when the files changes in with newer firmwares and good for softbricking, there is no advise of incompatibility problems
