In NewWorld ROM 1.1, the OpenFW blob (as pointed to by ConfigInfo) seems to have an ELF at offset 0x88. Based on the mangling of the strings within, it might be a compressed blob (these strings are also largely found in v2+ Trampoline versions). In fact, the blob seems to contain something more analogous to HWInit than OpenFW, suggesting that ConfigInfo is inaccurate.

Anyone know what's going on here?
