  • The PS4 and PS Vita RCOs are the same with only one single difference: the PS4 ones are not zlib compressed.
  • In PS4 the RCO's uses a cxml structure, with a header size of 0x50 and the magic identifier RCOF
    • RCOF header is 0x10 bytes bigger than any CXML header in PS3 (this means that there are 2 new tables added for the new CXML variant used in PS Vita RCOs). And endianess changed
    • Some of the extracted files are another variant of a CXML structure with identifier RCSF. After a second extraction (with a CXML decompiler tool) the resulting file is a .xml containing only text strings (this double CXML method is used for .xml files that store language translations)
  • Simply Vita RCO Extractor
  • Some RCO as Reference

Main Header[edit | edit source]

The header contains an identifier of the container (magic), his version, and allows to store the "absolute start offset" and "size" of 9 tables (or areas)

When a "not used table" is placed before a "used table"... the start offset of the "not used table" and his size (as zero) are stored in the main header to preserve his position in the structure. The "used table" that comes later starts in the same offset than the previously "not used table" (an intuitive way to think in this is imagining are overlapped because starts in the same position but only the one at the top is used)

  • The container format is generic (used also by PS3 files like .RAF, .QRC and .P3T with some variations) so the usage of this tables can vary, in this example there is 1 "not used table":
    • one of the "not used table" (at offset 0x18D0 with a size of 0) is placed before an used table (also at offset 0x18D0 but with a size of 0x34)

String Table[edit | edit source]

from notification_settings_plugin.rco FW??

This area is composed by a consecutive list of all the tags (elements or attributes) from the xml that was used to create the container. Are stored "from-top-to-bottom" in the exact same order that they was ordered in the xml (althougth it looks in some cases the theme compiler reorders them to his convenience). This list doesn't makes differences of the "directory hierarchy" of the tags neither is specified if the tag is an element or an attribute (this parent-child hierarchy is defined in other place of the container by making references to this area by using "byte counters" to locate a tag)

  • Notes:
    • yellow: used bytes
    • red: padding to align to 0x10 bytes
    • The integer values and text strings of some attributes tags from the xml (e.g: "themename=mytheme", or "fontcolor=2") are stored in this area too at the right of his tag, the presence of an integer value displaces the next tag (this only happens in themes and RAFs, not in QRC, RCO files so is added here as a note but is very important for the structure of the other containers when using "byte counters" to locate the tags)

Char Table[edit | edit source]

To document.

ID Table[edit | edit source]

In a PS4 RCO there are 3 different ID Tables: ID String, ID Integer and .

The loopback offset is market as red.

The id is marked as yellow.

  • Note: All loopback offset are reversed: little-endian.

ID String[edit | edit source]

from notification_settings_plugin.rco FW??

It is a Table that only holds Strings and will be readed till the first 0x00 byte and then stop. The first 4 bytes before the string are the loopback offset to add the id string to the src="" Attribute value.

  • Note: If all loopback offsets are used depends on the used Attribute identifier (9-will use loopback- or A-will not use loopback-). But for strings they will always loopback

ID Integer[edit | edit source]

from notification_settings_plugin.rco FW??

It is a Table that only holds Integer values. The values to read are always size of 4 so seems to be in little endian. The first 4 bytes before the Integer value are the loopback offset to add the id int value to the src="" Attribute value.

  • Note: All values are reversed little endian
    • Note2: Not all loopback offset's are used, that depends on the used Attribute identifier (B-will use loopback- or C-will not use loopback-)

ID Style[edit | edit source]

from notification_settings_plugin.rco FW??

It is a Table that only holds Integer values. The values to read are always size of 4 so seems to be in little endian. There are no loopback offsets within this table and one integer value is placed after another without any padding. Moreover those values are only used for the Attribute Tag id="" from the <styletable> Element.

  • Note: All values are reversed little endian

Integer Array[edit | edit source]

from notification_settings_plugin.rco FW??

This Array hold integer values. It is little endian alligned. That means for one integer value we have to read 4 bytes. This need also to be respected for the Offset and Length to read. Like if the given offset is 9 then we can say 9 * 4(bytes) == offset 0x24. We start to read on offset 0x24. Also we have to use the same calculation for the given values to read, if length is 2 then we calc 2 * 4(bytes) == 8 bytes to read where a union of 4 bytes is one single integer value. 

*To complete our example: given offset to read from = 9 ~ 0x24, given length of value = 2 ~ 0x08 == 0x00000002 & 0x00000000 =~ attribute="2, 0"

*Note: All values are reversed little endian

Float Array[edit | edit source]

from notification_settings_plugin.rco FW??

This Array hold single float values. In case of a single float value consit's of 4 bytes we need to use the same calculation then for the Integer Array. 

* As example: Given offset * 4 == Offset within float Array to start to read from. Given value length * 4 == length to read from the float Array. Where a union of 4 bytes is one single float value.

*Note: All values are reversed little endian (hex values!!)

File Table[edit | edit source]

The files are concatenated in the same order than in the Tree Table & ID's Table (ID String & Integer). The XML files are stored as CXML Containers as well. Additional will a PS4 RCO file hold the most common file formats that Sony already used in the past for resource files. Which are as follows: VAG, GTF, DDS, GIM.

Summary[edit | edit source]

To understand how all the Tables work together here is an example from the HeavyRain.p3t PS3 Theme. Do not worry that it is a PS3 Theme because the work down of the CXML is the same as a PS4 RCO.
