==General Info==
HIP archives are big endian in all versions of each game. It's made up of 4 main sections:
* '''HIPA''': this section is empty. It's used to mark the start of the file.
* '''PACK''': this section contains general data about the archive, such as game name, creation date and number of assets.
* '''DICT''': this section contains asset headers and layers. Each layer has a type and is composed of certain types of assets.
* '''STRM''': this section contains the raw data for the assets. Each asset header references the STRM by an absolute offset.
