*SETTINGS.DAT Reference documentation

[Swiftb0y]

Is there non-code documentation for this format or did you reverse engineer this just now yourself?

[Holzhaus]

I reverse-engineered it myself.

[Swiftb0y]

Ok, its hard to get a firmer understanding of the format by looking at the code, though its getting easier with the binrw version

[Holzhaus]

The format is simple. It's basically:

• length of string section (4 bytes)
• string section (96 bytes)
  • contains 3 strings, each one 32 bytes and padded with nullbytes
• length of data section (4 bytes)
• data section (size depends on type)
• crc16 checksum (2 bytes)
• padding (2 bytes, null bytes)

The data section contains setting values, each one is 1 byte long.
