0x08 0x02 00 00 unknown Always zeroes ?
0x0A 0x02 0C 00 entry_amount Number of entries in the file (in little endian)
0x0C 0x04 00 00 00 00 padding ? Always zeroes ?

Index table

The index table starts at offset 0x10, every entry in the index table is 0xC bytes lenght and is composed by 3 values. All values in the index table are in little endian. There is no gap or padding at the end of the index table

Example of the first entry in the index table of CEHtmlApi.bin

Offset Length Example Name Notes
0x00 0x04 B9 0B 00 00 entry_id An unique ID for the entry, used by the web browser to identify and to access the data (in little endian)
0x04 0x04 A0 00 00 00 data_offset Absolute offset of the data (in little endian)
0x08 0x04 9B 00 00 00 data_lenght Size of the data (in little endian)

Data table

At this point is unknown if the PS3 parses every one of the datas in a specific way based on his type because the IDs of them are hardcoded in the .sprx (so the sprx knows what to do with every data before reading it), or the data type is identifyed by reading the first bytes. Anyway, to manage the datas in PC is needed to read the first bytes because in PC we are not using a database with all the IDs (so we dont know what to do with every data entry before reading it)

This identification method (by reading the data itself) is what is explained here in wiki, the order of how are listed the data types in this wiki page is also a suggestion of the order of how the data types checks could be performed

Data types

All data entries starts with 4 bytes + a text string. The first 4 bytes indicates the length of the text string located inmediatly after. So the first bytes that needs to be readed are the 4 bytes + the lenght indicated by that 4 bytes

Text string

This is the most basic example, the entry can be identifyed as a "text string" because is null terminated (note how the text_string_lenght=5 of the example below includes the null byte 0x00 at the end)

Offset Length Example Name Notes
0x00 0x04 00 00 00 05 text_string_lenght Lenght of the next text string + 1 null byte at the end (in big endian)
0x04 varies 54 65 73 74 text_string A normal text string (starting with random characters that doesnt matches the search patterns for the other data type checks)
varies 0x01 00 null This is the null termination of the previous string
HTML (stored as a single text string

The fileformat allows to store HTML files as standard text string data, and are also null terminated (so it falls under the same characteristics as a standard text string). Because this reason, the only way to identify this data type in PC is by reading the first bytes of the string (if it starts with <!DOCTYPE HTML is a HTML)

To extract the data as a HTML file is needed to remove the null byte at the end (and the null byte at the end needs to be added when the HTML file is injected back)

0x30 0x04 00 00 00 05 children_amount Number of "chidren" items under the root item CEDialog (in this example there are 5 childrens: CERectComponent, CELabel, CEButton, CEButton, CEButton)
0x34 0x01 01 read_next ? Always 1 ? (and 0 for the last entry). Indicates if there is an entry next (or a brother at the same level of the hierarchy) ?
0x35 All the previous values seems to be definitions of the root CEDialog. After them continues with the definitions of the first children of the hierarchy named CERectComponent... and so on...

For CEButton at 0x30

Offset Length Example Name Notes
0x30 0x04 00 00 00 03 text_string_lenght Lenght of the next text string + the null byte (in big endian)
0x34 varies Ok text_string Ok, Cancel, Retry, etc...
varies 0x01 00 null
varies 0x02 00 00 unknown Always zero ?
varies 0x01 01 unknown Always 1 ?

For CELabel at 0x30 (same than CEButton, but with a zero bytes lenght text string)

Offset Length Example Name Notes
0x30 0x04 00 00 00 00 text_string_lenght ?
varies 0x02 00 00 unknown Always zero ?
varies 0x01 01 unknown Always 1 ?

For CERectComponent at 0x30

Offset Length Example Name Notes
varies 0x01 01 unknown Always 1 ?
  • Notes:
    • The IDs of the hierarchy are:
      • 0x2756 (10070 in decimal) - CEDialog (root)
      • 0x2757 (10071 in decimal) - CERectComponent (first children)
      • 0x2758 (10072 in decimal) - CELabel (second children)
      • 0x2759 (10073 in decimal) - CEButton (third children) with the text Ok
      • 0x275A (10074 in decimal) - CEButton (fourth children) with the text Cancel
      • 0x275B (10075 in decimal) - CEButton (fifth children) with the text Retry
      • The ID of the root is the same of the index table (converted to decimal in the "SILKPADD editor" app to 10070), the IDs of the 5 childrens of 10070 doesnt appears on the index but are 10071, 10072, 10073, 10074, 10075. This is why the next CEDialog ID in the index inmediatly after 10070 is 100076 (because the IDs 10071 up to 10075 are used by the 5 childrens of 10070)
  • Some items found... (the list could be huge)
    • CERectComponent - Rectangled frame ?
    • CELabel - ?
    • CEButton - Displays a text string (and probably a button icon next to it). The 3 CEButtons of this example displays the text strings: Ok, Cancel, and Retry
    • etc...
