This area is used by [[QTM Services]],starting at offset <code>0x200000</code>, size <code>0x180000</code>. This area is not accessible to the GPU on the old 3DS. The old 3DS and New 3DS GSP module has <code>vaddr-&gt;physaddr</code> conversion code for this entire region. On the New 3DS, only the first <code>0x200000</code> bytes (half of this memory) are accessible to the GPU.

FCRAM is partitioned into three regions of memory (APPLICATION, SYSTEM, and BASE). Most applications can only allocate memory from one of these regions (which is encoded in the [[NCCH/Extended_Header#ARM11_Kernel_Flags|process kernel flags]]). There is a fixed set of possible size of each memory region, determined by the APPMEMTYPE value in [[Configuration_Memory#APPMEMTYPE|configuration memory]] (which in turn is set up according to the [[FIRM#FIRM_Launch_Parameters|firmware launch parameters]]).

Support for APPMEMTYPEs 6 and 7 was implemented in [[NS]] with [[8.0.0-18]]. These configurations are only supported in the [[New_3DS]] ARM11-kernel, and are in fact the only ones supported there at all. Applications only get access to the larger memory regions when this is specified in their [[NCCH/Extended Header#New3DS System Mode|extended header]].
