Alien Breed REM File

From ModdingWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

REM is the only extensionless file. It is 103 bytes and is byte-identical to SETUP.M32 and mt32/SETUP.DAT, including SHA-256:

604e45e0e94be9fc782069375dc232e20905b0a00bdb647bf9c6e1b72ceeba42

This identifies its data as the same configuration record described in .DAT and .M32. It is not a textual batch comment: REM here is a filename, and the file's contents are binary.

File format

This is an uncompressed file with no additional game-specific binary wrapper.

Notes

The leading bytes are 01 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 09 00 04 00. There is no independent wrapper or metadata field distinguishing this copy from the MT-32 preset.

No public game-specific description of a REM resource was located. Its origin, intended filename, and whether the game ever opens it remain unknown. File-content identity alone does not prove it is needed at runtime. This page records it so every file in the supplied collection has a documented category.
