+# QROFS - Quark Read-Only File System
+
+QROFS is the FS used by Quark's ramdisk VFS
+
+ - Read-only (cannot write/delete/create/rename files)
+ - Subdirectory support
+ - File size limit: 2^32 bytes
+ - File name limit: 255 characters
+ - File name validation: ASCII only
+ - File name case sensitivity: case-sensitive
+ - Maximum files per directory: 255
+
+## At a byte level
+
+NOTE: Everything is stored in little-endian format, unless otherwise noted
+
+### QROFS directory
+
+| Bits | Description |
+|-|-|
+| 8 | Header (`0x02` for directories) |
+| 8 | Name length |
+| 8*n | The directory name itself - n is the name length |
+| 8 | Number of child nodes |
+| ? | Child nodes |
+
+### QROFS file
+
+| Bits | Description |

+| 8 | Header (`0x01` for files) |
+| 8 | Name length |
+| 8*n | The file name itself - n is the name length |
