In Spyro DotD and the Olympic Games Xbox 360 port, the file names were changed, such that the level number uses 3 decimals instead of only 2, while keeping the 8.3 filename limit. So LVL01.KWN becomes LVL001.KWN, STR01_02.KWN becomes STR00102.KWN, and 02LLOC01.KWN becomes 02LLC001.KWN

The extensions in the file names depend on the platform:

Platform	Extension
PC	KWN
PS2	KP2
GameCube	KGC
PSP	KPP
Wii	KRV
Xbox 360	KXE
PS3	KP3
