| .RSC files in Falcon are "resource bundles". A "resource bundle" is a type of file that can contain one or more (embedded) binary files, of varying types. For example, they can contain images, sounds, and/or miscellaneous binary content. A single .RSC file can (and often does) contain multiple resources, potentially of mixed type (i.e. a resource bundle file could contain several images, several sounds, and several binary files, all at once). | .RSC files in Falcon are "resource bundles".

| The following C# class (F4Resources.F4ResourceBundleReader) illustrates how to read a Falcon Resource Bundle (.RSC file + .IDX file) at a low level. It's not optimized for speed (i.e. it uses SetPixel for setting image colors and it uses Array.Copy for copying raw binary data instead of the faster native memory bit-to-block transfer techniques), but it is more illustrative, as a result. | The following C# class (F4Resources.F4ResourceBundleReader) illustrates how to read a Falcon Resource Bundle (.RSC file + .IDX file) at a low level.
