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

There's at least 9 different filenames used for ".cnmt":

  • "Application_{lower-case hex titleID}.cnmt"
  • "Patch_{lower-case hex titleID}.cnmt"
  • "AddOnContent_{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"
  • "Delta_{lower-case hex titleID}.cnmt"
