CNMT

For the content of the NCA FS which can be mounted, see here.

For the format of the actual NCA, see here.

Metadata file

This is the file that ends in ".cnmt{.nca}" or "meta0.ncd". This seems to replace the TMD format.

There's at least 7 different filenames used for ".cnmt":

• "Application_{lower-case hex titleID}.cnmt"
• "Patch_{lower-case hex titleID}.cnmt"
• "SystemUpdate_{hex titleID}.cnmt"
• "SystemData_{lower-case hex titleID}.cnmt"
• "SystemProgram_{lower-case hex titleID}.cnmt"
• "BootImagePackage_{lower-case hex titleID}.cnmt"
• "BootImagePackageSafe_{lower-case hex titleID}.cnmt"

It starts with a header:

Offset	Size	Description
0x0	8	Title ID
0x8	4	u32 title-version
0xC	1	Type (see Title Types)
0xD	1
0xE	2	Offset to table relative to the end of this 0x20-byte header.
0x10	2	Number of content entries
0x12	2	Number of meta entries
0x14	12

With SystemUpdate, the 4-bytes at offset 0xE are zero, with the entry-count field located at offset 0x12 instead(header size is the same).

An optional header can follow, depending on the title type.

At the end of the file following the entries is a 0x20-byte block, presumably a hash.

With Patch-format, there's additional data after the end of the entries specified in the header and before the ending hash.

Application header

Offset	Size	Description
0x20	8	Application Title ID
0x28	8	Minimum system version

Patch header

Offset	Size	Description
0x20	8	Original title ID
0x28	8	Minimum system version

Add-on content header

Offset	Size	Description
0x20	8	Application title ID
0x28	8	Minimum application version

Content records

Each entry is 0x38 bytes:

Offset	Size	Description
0x0	32	Hash
0x20	16	NcaId [same as first 16-bytes of hash]
0x30	6	Size, same as the output from Content_Manager_services#GetEntrySize.
0x36	1	Type (0=meta, 1=program, 2=data, 3=control, 4=offline-manual html, 5=legal html, 6=game-update RomFS patches?)
0x37	1

Meta records

Each entry is 0x10 bytes:

Offset	Size	Description
0x0	8	Title ID
0x8	4	Title version
0xC	1	Type (see Title Types)
0xD	1	? bit0 set = don't install?
0xE	2	Unused?

This is used for SystemUpdate, see here: Content_Manager_services#GetUpdateTitleList.
