System Settings allows you to manage various settings, use System Transfer, and use Data Management.

All applications(CTR/TWL) launched by System Settings are launched via APT:PrepareToDoApplicationJump/APT:DoApplicationJump, such as DS INTERNET and System Transfer.

Data Management

3DS

Here you can manage 3DS extra data, and 3DSWare/"Software".

When managing 3DS Software installed to the SD Card, the title.db is read by the core receiving AM commands. From the title.db file, AM gets a list of installed titles, title sizes and the name of the ".cmd" file for each title, which is used to check the authenticity of the title data(product code, title version, and if an electronic manaual is used, is also kept for each title, in the title.db, but won't be used by the Data Management Utility). For each title listed, it checks if the title is authentic(via the .cmd file). If the title passes authentication, Data Management decrypts/reads the ICN data from the executable NCCH(CXI) and displays it along with the archived title size. If a title doesn't pass authentication, a placeholder icon(light grey with a '?' in the center), name ('????????') and a size of zero are used. Deleting titles removes the title data from the title.db and import.db, and deletes the directory of the content.

DSiWare

See DSiWare Exports.

System Format

Most of the System Format is done with FS:InitializeCtrFileSystem. This command updates the high u64 of the keyY stored in movable.sed. Since this keyY was updated, the data stored on SD card(sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>) and the data under nand/data/<ID0> is rendered useless, since that data used the old keyY. Since that data is no longer usable, the system then deletes the two above SD/NAND directories.

System Updater

The system updater title is identical to the regular system settings, except only system update is accessible with this. On dev units, this title can only be launched under certain conditions.

On retail units, this title is accessible in scenarios where you have to update via the Internet to use certain 3DS software other than the home menu. i.e. using the eShop, on a system version less than the current one. When one selects "Cancel" from here on retail, the system will shutdown. NS launches SAFE_MODE_FIRM for running this title, when the UPDATEFLAG is set during system boot.

Exiting System Settings

Upon exit, the system reboots instead of simply returning to home menu.

Parental Controls Reset

The following refers to the functionality which generates the Parental Controls "Master Key".

System Version, for the mset title	Parental controls reset functionality version	Notes
1.0.0-X - 5.1.0-X	v0
6.0.0-X - 6.3.0-X	v1
7.0.0-X - 7.1.0-X	v2
7.2.0-X - current	v3

ExtData

The ExtData File System for System Settings is as follows:

root
├── icon
├── boss
└── user
    ├── Backup.dat
    └── MsetExt.dat

File	Details	Size	FW Introduced	Plaintext
icon	Stubbed. Always image 00000002.	0x4 Bytes	n/a
MsetExt.dat	DSiWare Exports Management	0x960 Bytes	2.0.0-2	Download
Backup.dat	SD Savedata Backups Management	0xf5a0 Bytes	6.0.0-11	Download

MsetExt.dat

This keeps a record for the DSiWare Exports for a maximum of 300 exports. Each record is in the format:

OFFSET	SIZE	DESCRIPTION
0	4	Game Code in Little Endian
0x4	4	Reserved

All unused entries are filled with "0xff".

Backup.dat

This keeps a record for the 30 save data backup slots for SD Savedata Backups. Each entry corresponds to an individual backup slot.

Entry:

OFFSET	SIZE	DESCRIPTION
0x000	8	Reserved
0x8	0x800 (0x80*16)	16 UTF-16 Title Strings
0x808	8	Title ID
0x810	8	Unknown
0x818	8	Total Save Data Size
0x820	0x10	Reserved
