Data Table

Default entry size is 60 bytes (0x3C) but the first and last entries has a different size

http://666kb.com/i/cib5c7q4y7rpcx9x1.gif

Filename Table

Each entry is composed by:

Offset	Length	Example	Name	Notes
0x0	0x4	00000038	Data Table entry offset	Same value than in the Data 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

File Table

The table starts with 0x20 bytes, are always present in all the .qrc files

Offset(h) 00 01 02 03  04 05 06 07  08 09 0A 0B  0C 0D 0E 0F

Marked in red: padding to align to 0x10 bytes

After this, the files are concatenated in the same order than in the Filename Table

Notes
- The size of lines.qrc is different between 3.55 and 4.46 (there are changes in some of the contained files)

XMB wave modding: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=25618 and http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=58673
- Thread corrections: The wave is common for all PS3 models, resolutions, aspect ratios, and regions. The concept of PAL/NTSC wave is wrong

Notes (this section is speculative until someone finds where the values are stored, feel free to improve it)

Sparks dynamic animation (sparks movement affected by cursor position and "fluid density")

The sparks movement is affected by the displacement of the cursor when moving along XMB columns and rows (left-right, or up-down directions). When the cursor moves fast to a new position the sparks "tends" to move in the opposite direction trying to mimic a real fluid like air or water

To see this effect is good to configure a black wallpaper and enable all the options iside "theme settings" to "original" (this will make the sparks very visibles). Then start moving the cursor from left column (user) <---> to right column (friends)... or from top item <---> to bottom item in any colums (more visible in a column with several items, like game)... and note how the sparks directions are affected :)

This proves the sparks is a dynamic animation, is constantly "reading" the position of the cursor to adjust particle directions

wallpapers After extraction, the 24 .dds images used as wallpapers shares the same header (0x80 bytes), after the header starts the pixel info (each pixel is 4 bytes length in RGBA format). Is posible to change the pixel info without changing the header

00 00 00 FF = black pixel
