*The PS4 and Vita RCOs are the same with only one single difference: The PS4 ones are not zlib compressed.
*In PS4 the RCO's uses a cxml structure, with a header size of 0x50 and the magic identifyer '''RCOF'''
**RCOF header is 0x10 bytes bigger than any [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/CXML_Containers cxml header in PS3] (this means there are 2 new tables added for the new cxml variant used in vita rco's). And endianess changed
**Some of the extracted files are another variant of a cxml structure with identifyer '''RCSF'''. After a second extraction (with a cxml decompiler tool) the resulting file is a .xml containing only text strings (this double cxml method is used for .xml files that stores language translations)

To understand how all the Tables work together here is an example from the HeavyRain.p3t PS3 Theme. Do not worry that it is a PS3 Theme because the work down of the CXML is the same as a PS4 RCO.
