= SuspendPoint =
The SuspendPoint is stored in a mostly standard cpio archive. The magic is little-endian octal 070707. Normally the file data is used raw, however when u8 cpio_entry_header+0x4 (c_ino) is 0x1 and +0x5 is 0x0, the file data is zlib compressed. The cpio parser code calculates a checksum over each file (decompressed data when compression is enabled) by XORing each u16 in the file, then comparing it with u16 cpio_entry_header+0x8 (c_uid). The result is stored as a flag in the output cpio file entry structure. This checksum is only set for SuspendPoints, not RomFs data - none of the cpio parser callers currently validate the checksum flag.
The SuspendPoint is stored in a mostly standard cpio archive with a modified cpio entry header:

Normally the file data is used raw, but it can also be zlib compressed if '''flags''' is 0x1. The cpio parser code calculates a checksum over each file (decompressed data when compression is enabled) by XORing each u16 in the file, then comparing it with '''checksum'''. The result is stored as a flag in the output cpio file entry structure. This checksum is only set for SuspendPoints, not RomFs data - none of the cpio parser callers currently validate the checksum flag.
This archive is stored in [[#SaveData]], and is also transferred over the network with online-play-friends when the user loads a suspend-point in the GUI. This is also done automatically when a network session is created, for emu-sync-state. Emu-sync-state only used with session-creation, after that the only way to trigger suspend-point usage is via the suspend-menu GUI.
