For example, the GameCube version of Lost HEAT SWORD is in two files named `q058-ret-gc.bin` and `q058-ret-gc.dat`. newserv knows these files are quests because they're in the system/quests/ directory, it knows they're for PSO GC because the filenames contain `-gc`, and it puts them in the Retrieval category because the filenames contain `-ret`.
There are multiple PSO quest formats out there; newserv supports most of them. It can also decode any known format to standard .bin/.dat format. Specifically:

*Notes:*
1. *This is the default format. You can convert these to uncompressed format by running `newserv decompress-prs FILENAME.bin FILENAME.bind` (and similarly for .dat -> .datd)*
2. *Similar to (1), to compress an uncompressed quest file: `newserv compress-prs FILENAME.bind FILENAME.bin` (and likewise for .datd -> .dat)*
3. *If you know the encryption seed (serial number), pass it in as a hex string with the `--seed=` option. If you don't know the encryption seed, newserv will find it for you, which will likely take a long time.*
3. *Use the decode action to convert these quests to .bin/.dat format before putting them into the server's quests directory. If you know the encryption seed (serial number), pass it in as a hex string with the `--seed=` option. If you don't know the encryption seed, newserv will find it for you, which will likely take a long time.*
4. *Episode 3 online quests don't go in the system/quests directory; they instead go in the system/ep3/maps-free or system/ep3/maps-quest directories. If you want an Episode 3 quest to be available for both online play and for downloading, the file must exist in both system/quests and in one of the map directories in system/ep3.*
Episode 3 download quests consist only of a .bin file - there is no corresponding .dat file. Episode 3 download quest files may be named with the .mnm extension instead of .bin, since the format is the same as the standard map files (in system/ep3/). These files can be encoded in any of the formats described above, except .qst. There are no encrypted Episode 3 GCI formats because the game doesn't encrypt quests saved to the memory card, unlike Episodes 1&2.
