Internet Browser

The 3DS Internet Browser was added in the June 2011 Update for JPN/EUR/USA.

From the Internet Browser help section: In compliance with the LGPL, the source code of the OSS is available via the Nintendo website. This source code can be downloaded here: [1] [2]

The 3DS Internet Browser is Netfront Browser NX v1.0 based on WebKit engine.

On O3DS the exheader name of this title is "SPIDER"; on N3DS, "SKATER". The only difference between the ExeFS .code for each region of the Old3DS/New3DS browser, is byte values for the title uniqueID/region.

A "dummy" browser (which replaces the actual browser) is being included with cartdrige games shipping with system updates starting with 9.9.0-X. In addition, versions of the real browser since 9.9.0-26X attempt to check-in with a Nintendo server to determine if the existing browser version is out of date.

New 3DS Internet Browser

New3DS has a separate browser title, with the exheader name "SKATER". Unlike the Old3DS browser, the New3DS browser has videos+HTML5 support.

This browser also has a filter enabled by default in the JPN version. Disabling it requires paying money with a credit-card, for purchasing web-browser DLC. During startup the browser does various HTTPS comms. When visting an URL, the browser sends a plaintext HTTP POST here: [3]. The raw POST data begins with "ARS/2.0\r\n\x00", the rest appears to be encrypted. The server reply content also has this ARS header + encrypted data. This appears to use a fixed xorpad, likely from a fixed encryption CTR/IV. The server content responses for allowed sites, and blocked sites, are fixed. When the server returns that the site is blocked, the browser goes to this page: [4](the Referrer header value is set to the same URL it's actually requesting).

The WebKit source was updated since the Old3DS browser. The New3DS browser uses the following services: mvd:STD and ir:rst(DLC-related services are used too but those aren't New3DS specific). Video decoding is done with mvd:STD. Audio decoding/playback is done with a browser-specific DSP binary. The Old3DS browser used CSND for audio playback, the New3DS browser doesn't have access to that at all since it uses DSP instead.

Video / libstagefright

The browser manual includes licenses for Android and PacketVideo. The browser uses libstagefright from Android. Just like WebKit, the browser appears to use a very old version of libstagefright with security/other changes back-ported(for example, the v10.7 browser libstagefright codebase seems to be older than this). This codebase is missing certain chunk-parsing code for 3GP.

HTTP for libstagefright is internally handled with HTTPC, with a similar(?) set of RootCAs as for browser-version-check.

Note that the latest Old3DS browser WebKit version at the time the initial New3DS browser was released, was the following: 532.8.

The first version of the KOR New3DS browser was v9.6(which was when the New3DS KOR titles were originally added). Each version of the KOR browser has the same NintendoBrowser version as the other regions. The KOR browser has been only updated when the browser for the other regions were updated, hence the title-versions are the same as well. The KOR browser ExeFS .code is different from the other regions(more than just region-related IDs etc).

OSS 9.0 and 9.3 diff

The following is a diff of the OSS archives from here, for v9.0 and v9.3.

Files NewNintendo3DS_OpenSources9.0.0-/WKC/WebCore/platform/network/WKC/ResourceHandleManagerWKC.cpp and NewNintendo3DS_OpenSources9.3.0-/WKC/WebCore/platform/network/WKC/ResourceHandleManagerWKC.cpp differ
Files NewNintendo3DS_OpenSources9.0.0-/WKC/WebKit/WKC/webkit/WKCVersion.h and NewNintendo3DS_OpenSources9.3.0-/WKC/WebKit/WKC/webkit/WKCVersion.h differ

WKC_CUSTOMER_RELEASE_VERSION was changed from "0.5.8" to "0.5.10".

The following code was added to ResourceHandleManager::doRedirect(): curl_easy_setopt(d->m_handle, CURLOPT_SHARE, 0);

v9.6

WebKit/OSS code was actually updated. ExeFS .code was updated. The following files in RomFS were updated:

• "/banner/CN/Skater.icn" and "/banner/KR/Skater.icn".
• "/browser/rootca.pem"
• "/build/buildinfo.dat"
• "/cairo.cro.lex" and "/.crr/static.crr"

• "skater.msbt" under all of the "/message/<region>_<language>/" directories.
• "/oss.cro.lex", "/peer.cro.lex", "/static.crs", and "/webkit.cro.lex".

The following was added to RomFS:

• "/favicon/naver.dat"
• A "KO" directory under "/iwnn".

v9.9

ExeFS:/.code was updated.

The only RomFS changes is file-updating, all of the following files were updated:

See here for a diff of the OSS(WebKitLibraries/ is not included due to the massive cairo library diff). An exploitable security vuln(which was already known in the context of 3DS webkit) was fixed. Yellows8' private(at the time of writing) exploit for it is based on the PoC from here(see the pastebin for the actual pastebin author).

v10.2

The libstagefright build in the main SKATER codebin was updated to a version which fixed libstagefright vuln(s): the vuln used in browserhax_fright at the time of sysupdate release was fixed. The *only* code changed in the main codebin, was code related to libstagefright.

The ExeFS codebin was updated, the only change was that the following code was updated in the actual NupCheck HTTPS request function:

• Previous version: sprintf(out, "https://cbvc.cdn.nintendo.net/SNAKE/2/%s", region);
• Current version: sprintf(out, "https://cbvc.cdn.nintendo.net/SNAKE/%d/%s", 3, region);

v10.6

The ExeFS codebin was updated.

browserhax_fright_tx3g was fixed. The code handling tx3g now matches the latest libstagefright git.

Hence the below RomFS listing, no OSS was updated at all(besides libstagefright mentioned above).

The following RomFS files were updated:

/build/buildinfo.dat
/static.crs

v10.7

Basically the same changes as Old3DS v10.7, except with the usual buildinfo.dat update in RomFS. The below date is 6 days after the browser-version-check bypass was publicly disclosed.

Minus the 4 functions that changed due to compiler optimization, only 1 function was actually updated. This is LT_1a4004, previous version at LT_1a4004: libstagefright status_t MPEG4Extractor::parseChunk(off64_t *offset, int depth)

Additional code was added which doesn't seem to be from upstream git, right before the cprt code block: "if((*offset + chunk_size) - data_offset < 0)fail"

This fixed skater31hax + any other mp4 haxx which requires using a negative 64bit chunk_size value.

The filepath base used in the assert strings were changed from "d:\Jenkins\workspace\MPSkaterBuild\MVPlayer\Skater\Base\Android\frameworks\base\media\libstagefright\" to "d:\jenkins\workspace\MPSkaterBuild-Git\Base\Android\frameworks\base\media\libstagefright\".

v11.4

The only changes in RomFS was for "/build/buildinfo.dat" and "/static.crs", hence no OSS in CRO(s) were updated.

The main codebin was updated. Exactly two functions were updated, these are not related to code exec vulns.

Gamepad

The browser's now-outdated gamepad API provides information about the states of the circle pad, C-stick, and every button aside from the Home and Power buttons. The gamepad, which has an ID of New Nintendo 3DS Controller, is contained within the array returned by the navigator.webkitGetGamepads function.

Both of the gamepad's arrays, which contain the states of various inputs, seem to be reconstructed each time they are accessed via their gamepad object. It is not known if the values within the arrays can update upon each access of the array, but the values can update frequently enough to obtain accurate readings of the system's controls.

Axes

The gamepad's axes array contains four floating-point numbers in the following order:

Index	Axis
0	Circle pad X
1	Circle pad Y
2	C-stick X
3	C-stick Y

Each coordinate ranges from -1.0 (left/up) to 1.0 (right/down). Neutral position is indicated by 0.0. Drift and/or inaccurate calibration may make these exact values unattainable.

Buttons

The gamepad's buttons array contains numbers for the following numbers:

Index	Button
0	B
1	A
2	Y
3	X
4	L
5	R
6	ZL
7	ZR
8	Select
9	Start
10	Unused
11	Unused
12	Up
13	Down
14	Left
15	Right

Each button's value is 0 while the button is not pressed, and 1 while the button is pressed.

Based on the Gamepad API's specifications, buttons 10 and 11 are reserved for left stick presses and right stick presses respectively, which the 3DS does not support.

Notes

• Viewport information can be specified with the <meta> element.
• The html "color" <input> type is not supported.
• 3D images appear as their right-eye image within webpages.
• Webpages are locked to the bottom screen when zooming is disabled, the webpage's initial scale is 1, and the entire webpage can fit within the bottom screen's dimensions (320x212).
• Interactable elements that are positioned partially outside of the bottom screen can temporarily be moved further inside the bottom screen by tapping them with the touchscreen.
• Favicons can be changed using Javascript, but they become unchangeable once the document's readystatechange event finishes firing with a ready state of "complete".
• Focusing on text-editable elements via Javascript will always open the keyboard.
• Webpage content is usually rendered at 30 FPS despite the webkitRequestAnimationFrame function allowing code to run at a rate of 60 FPS.
  • As a result, display-related routines may only show half of their intended updates.
  • This issue can be mitigated by rendering on every other frame. However, various factors (such as touchscreen input and sleep mode) make this fairly inconsistent.

Heap

The USA/EUR/JPN + KOR browser allocates the 0x08000000 heap with size 0x01A97000. The size used by the CHN and TWN browser is 0x01997000, exactly 0x100000-bytes smaller.

Old3DS v10.6

spider28hax was fixed. The "2^32 characters long string" vuln described here was finally fixed.

A lot of WebKit issues/vulns were fixed, see here for the changes.

libpng was updated from version 1.4.12 to 1.4.19. zlib was updated from 1.2.7 to 1.2.8.

The .text size increased by 0x478-bytes.

The only changes in RomFS was that the following files were updated:

/cro/oss.cro
/cro/static.crs
/cro/webkit.cro
/.crr/static.crr
/manual/Manual.bcma

Old3DS v10.7

Nothing changed except some words for version-values in .text being updated(RomFS wasn't changed), code for browser-version-check was updated.

Old3DS v11.1

Nothing changed in the ExeFS codebin besides the usual version values. The following files in RomFS were updated:

 /cro/oss.cro
 /cro/webkit.cro
 /.crr/static.crr

Forced system-update

The Old3DS/New3DS Internet Browser updated with 9.9.0-26 added the following message strings:

In order to use the Internet 
browser, a system update 
is required.
To perform a system update, 
select System Update from Other
Settings in System Settings.

The Internet browser cannot be
used at this time.
Please check your network
environment or try again later.

For whatever reason, the above message strings were removed with New3DS-browser v10.2, then re-added with v10.4. This does not apply to the Old3DS browser. Whenever v10.2 New3DS browser tries to use these message-strings for displaying a browser-update-related message, it will crash due to an assert failing since the message-strings are missing. Hence, if/when the v10.2 update-check page is ever updated where the browser tries to display a message for it, or when accessing that page fails, the browser will automatically crash.

This wasn't enforced(web-browser displaying the above message when the installed browser isn't the latest version) until October 26, 2015.

This message only triggers when attempting to load a web-page. This is only handled the first time the browser accesses a web-page, during this browser session.

The browser codebins starting with v9.9 now contain the following URL strings:

• Old3DS: "https://cbvc.cdn.nintendo.net/CTR/1/<region>"
• New3DS: "https://cbvc.cdn.nintendo.net/SNAKE/1/<region>"

The <region> string is one of the following:

• "JPN"
• "USA"
• "EUR"
• "KOR"

Starting with the browser from 10.2.0-28, the "1" in the above URLs were changed to "2". With the New3DS browser from 10.4.0-29, it's now "3".

As of October 26, 2015, the "1" URLs return the browser-version for v9.9(decimal number as a string without any "."), while the "2" URLs returns 0.

if(internal_browserver > server_browserver)
{
    <safe>
}
else
{
    <update message>
}

Hence, internal_browserver == server_browserver will trigger the sysupdate message, which appears to be the normal way to indicate that the current browser is outdated(see above).

There is a cache for this in savedata. The request is only done when at least 24-hours have passed since the last time the request was done(see the below savedata section).

It is still possible to guard against this update by blocking the previous URLs using a proxy. It is not possible to remove the update message by entering the Recovery Mode.

Page request

For this request, all root-CAs bundled with the browser are trusted, in addition to two of the SSL module builtin Nintendo root-CAs.

The browser(with New3DS at least) does the following with HTTPC for requesting the above page:

• Initializes the HTTP context and uses HTTPC:InitializeConnectionSession + HTTPC:SetProxyDefault.
• Uses HTTPC command 0x250080 twice with cmd[1]=contexthandle: first time cmd[2]=0x3, second time cmd[2]=0x6.
• Then HTTPC:AddTrustedRootCA is used 48 times to setup 48 trusted root CAs. This appears to be every cert in the browser "romfs:/browser/rootca.pem" file converted to DER, in the same order from there(in other words, every single root CA the browser trusts by default for normal web-browsing).
• Then HTTPC:BeginRequest is used.
• Then HTTPC:ReceiveDataTimeout is used, the recv-size seems to be fixed to 0x20.
• Then HTTPC:GetResponseStatusCodeTimeout is used.
• Then HTTPC:GetDownloadSizeState is used.
• Then the HTTP context is closed.

Raw request data(New3DS USA v10.2 browser):

000000: 47 45 54 20 2f 53 4e 41 4b 45 2f 32 2f 55 53 41  GET /SNAKE/2/USA

000030: 64 6f 2e 6e 65 74 0d 0a 0d 0a                    do.net....

v10.7

The only actual code change with Old3DS/New3DS browser v10.7 was that the code which calculates the diff_timestamp was moved to immediately after the block which initializes <state_timestamp> when <state_timestamp> is all-zero. This fixed the browser-version-check bypass.

Dummy web-browser

Gamecards v9.9 and above include, with their sysupdate, a dummy Old3DS/New3DS web-browser. The *only* thing this title does is display the same message listed in the above forced-update section. The message files in RomFS *only* contain that message string above. There are no "http" strings in the main codebin, and RO isn't used either(no CRO data in RomFS at all). Both browsers are internally called "dummySpider".

Hence, if you update your system below v9.8 with any v9.9 or above gamecard, the system web-browser will be rendered *completely* useless until you install a system-update from CDN(no network requests involved here).

Gamecards v10.7 and v11.4(New3DS only) have updated the dummy web-browser, where the only difference is the title version.

Savedata

New3DS

On newer SKATER versions, it appears *all* NAND savedata is stored under the 0x000200BB savedata.

0x000200BB savedata

This only contains "t.bin" with filesize 0xadf80, the format is below.

The timestamp format used here is the number of milliseconds since January 1, 2000(local-time).

When using the "Initialize savedata" option in the browser, that deletes this savedata file/image then exits the browser. This file is then re-created when the browser gets started again.

Offset	Size	Description
0x68	0x4?	This counter is incremented each time the savedata is written.
0x70	0x8	Timestamp for when the savedata was last written.
0x94	0x15?	This is all-zeros on non-JPN systems. On JPN systems where the browser filter is disabled, this is a string in the following format: "4110-%016llX".
0xD8	0x8	s64 timestamp, can be either a normal positive timestamp or a relative negative one. Used with the forced-update described above. When an update is detected this timestamp is negative, otherwise this is a normal positive timestamp(it's unknown how exactly this timestamp is checked). When positive, this seems to be the last time the forced-update HTTPS request was done where no update was needed.

APT Parameters

The URL to load can optionally be loaded from char[] string paramblk+0. This is used when scanning URL QR-codes in Home Menu / etc.

Errors

"Failed to load part of this page": This can be caused by failing to load "/favicon.ico". For example, this can be caused by loading a plain HTTP page, with plain-http favicon redirecting to HTTPS. If cert-verify then fails with favicon in this case, this error would then trigger.

Other details

• It scored 90/100 on Acid3 test
• Images from the Internet can be saved to the SD Card and viewed using the Nintendo 3DS Camera application.
• Images saved to an SD Card or to the Nintendo 3DS system memory can be uploaded to blogs or other sites that allow the uploading of photos using :

<input type="file" />

• HTML5Test.com say that Drag and drop is supported but it's not (code on WebKit is ready, but it's not implemented on interface of browser)
• Webpages are rendered with the RGB565 color format.

Tips

Detect User Agent

To detect if the user agent is the Nintendo 3DS Internet Browser (not including mobile site mode):

<script type="text/javascript">
    if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Nintendo 3DS") == -1) { // If the user agent does not contain "Nintendo 3DS"
        location.replace("http://www.3dbrew.org"); // Redirect to another page
    }
</script>

• You can check using navigator.platform.indexOf("Nintendo 3DS") > -1 as well.
• The New 3DS Internet Browser's "Request Mobile Sites" setting affects the user agent. To detect if the New 3DS Internet Browser is being used with this option enabled, use screen.pixelDepth == 16 && navigator.platform == "iPhone".
  • This relies on the fact that the internet browser renders its webpages in 16-bit color, which is (hopefully?) not possible with a real iPhone.
  • Keep in mind that the previous browser-detection examples do not account for this setting.

Scrolling

Scrolling can be altered by modifying document.body.scrollTop and document.body.scrollLeft. However, there are drawbacks related to working with these properties:

• Both properties return 0 when accessed
• Setting one property resets the other property's scroll position

In order to set both at the same time (without either resetting to 0), use window.scrollTo.

Events

Key Events

The following buttons trigger the onkeydown, onkeypress and onkeyup events:

Code	Button
13	A
37	Left
38	Up
39	Right
40	Down

The events cannot have their default action cancelled. Other buttons do not trigger key events.

The Old3DS browser dispatches a keypress event once per key press for each of the buttons above, but the New3DS browser dispatches the event continuously until the button is released.

A keyboard event's keyIdentifier property usually should not be used to identify which button was pressed, as the A button's keypress event is dispatched with a key identifier of "" (an empty string) rather than "Enter" in the New3DS browser.

The New3DS browser's keyboard dispatches keydown and keyup events when a key is pressed, but it is not possible to determine which key was pressed based on the event itself. Every keyboard keydown event has a key code of 229 and a key identifier of "U+00E5", and every keyup event has a key code of 0 and a key identifier of "U+0000".

Key events are suppressed while the touchscreen is touched.

Touch/Mouse Events

The mousedown, mouseup, and click events are all triggered by the browser. However, the mousedown event doesn't trigger until you lift the stylus or you've held it on the screen long enough to trigger text selection mode. Text selection mode requires pressing the touchscreen for approximately 1.05 seconds in the Old3DS browser, or pressing the touchscreen for approximately 0.41 seconds in the New3DS browser. Also, the mousedown event is only dispatched while text selection mode is active. Mouse events cannot have their default actions cancelled.

Touch events are not supported in the Old3DS browser, and the touchcancel event does not seem to be used by either browser. Touches cannot start within the bottom browser bar, but they can move to be within it. The rotation angle, contact radii, and pressure of each touch are always zero, as the 3DS touchscreen is not capable of detecting these values. Only one touch can be detected at a time due to the touchscreen's hardware limitations as well. Unlike mouse events, touch events can have their default actions cancelled. Doing so will prevent the touchscreen from being used to scroll through the webpage, highlight text, zoom out, and interact with the bottom browser bar.

System Font Characters

The system font's private-use characters can be viewed within the web browser.

Screen Resolution

The up screen resolution is 400×240. However, the viewable area in the browser is only 400×215.

The touch screen resolution is 320×240. However, the viewable area in the browser is 320×212 or 320×240, depending on if the bottom browser bar is visible. The New3DS browser's bottom bar can hidden by scrolling and/or attempting to zoom in/out with the C-stick, unless scrolling and zooming have both been disabled.

You can have a page span both screens. However, the browser will behave as if the bottom screen is the only active screen and the top screen is scrolled off. This is important when computing CSS coordinates. Items positioned from the "bottom" will be positioned based on the height of the bottom screen, not the cumulative height of both screens.

Using Both Screens

Generally the easiest way to accomplish the correct layout is to create HTML elements that "contain" the top and bottom screens. Here's an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=400, initial-scale=1">
    <style>
      body { margin: 0px; }
      #topscreen { width: 400px; height: 215px; overflow: hidden; background-color: red; }
      #bottomscreen { width: 320px; height: 212px; overflow: hidden; background-color: blue; margin: 0 40px 28px; }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="topscreen">Top Screen</div>
    <div id="bottomscreen">Bottom Screen</div>
  </body>
</html>

This scheme allows the page to be easily manipulated through JavaScript. In order to have the window snap to the correct position, use the following JavaScript code:

window.setInterval(function() {
    window.scrollTo(40, 215);
}, 0);

This automatically resets the position if the user accidentally scrolls the page. Zooming should probably also be disabled by adding user-scalable=no to the <meta> viewport element, though this will only have an effect in the New3DS browser.
