Services

Filesystem service "fs:USER"

You can at most have 32 FS archive handles.

Note: The question marks from Dummy1 to GetSpecialFileSize on the "available since system version" field are mainly there because I think that most of these are necessary for the main system to function, so theoretically that would mean that since the creation of the 3DS these were available, or since launch if that makes more sense. But because of the peculiar nature of some of the functions, they will remain question marks until they can be confirmed 100%.

When access rights are required for a command, at least one of the bits in the process access info specified in the above table for the command must be set. Error 0xD9004676 is returned when a process attempts to use a command which it doesn't have access rights for the command. The exheader access info field is all zero's for most applications. Note that the permissions listed in the above table is for system-version v2.x, therefore permission bit(s) added with newer FIRM may be missing from this.

Each session for fs:USER has separate permissions, initially these are set to all zero's for new fs:USER sessions. The permissions/etc for fs:USER sessions are initialized via FS:Initialize(loaded from the user process exheader).

Filesystem service "fs:LDR"

This service is identical to fs:USER, except FS:OpenArchive archive 0x2345678E can only be accessed with fs:LDR.

ProgramRegistry service "fs:REG"

Command Header Description
0x000100C6 Dummy1
0x040103C0 Register
0x04020040 Unregister
0x040300C0 GetProgramInfo
0x04040100 LoadProgram
0x04050080 UnloadProgram
0x04060080 CheckHostLoadId

Only two sessions can be opened for this service at a time, hence no other processes can use this due to pm-module and loader using this.

File and directory access

Files

File session handles obtained via FS:OpenFile et al can be used to access files through a service-like interface, despite not being an actual service registered using SRV:RegisterService.

Archives listed as not requiring a binary lowpath, use lowpath type empty.

The above permission bitmasks are from v2.x, see the above Services section for how these are handled.

Archives CTR NAND, NAND RO Write FS, TWL NAND, NAND W FS, and CARD SPI FS require the corresponding process exheader access control mount flag to be set, in the exheader for any of the currently running ARM11 processes, for FSPXI. The access rights checked by FS module for archive mounting with fs:USER, are stored in the process' exheader accessinfo.

The CARDSPI archive allows access to the gamecard CARD1 raw savedata flash(aka "cardspi:/" in Process9), the file lowpath must be WCHAR "/". The "NAND W FS" archive allows access to the raw NAND image(aka "wnand:/" in Process9), the file lowpath must be WCHAR "/".

Filenames and Paths

PathType:

Value Description
-1 Returned internally by Process9, when errors occur it seems(in particular when no nul-terminator was found in the input path). The data ptr is set to NULL.
0x0 INVALID - Specifies an invalid path
0x1 EMPTY - Specifies an empty path
0x2 BINARY - Non-text based path. Meaning is per-archive
0x3 ASCII - Text-based path with 7-bit ASCII characters padded to 8-bits each (signed char)
0x4 UTF16 - Text-based path with UTF-16 characters

In IPC requests, sizes of ASCII and UTF16 paths must include space for the null-terminator.

Binary LowPath

The format of the data that a binary LowPath points to is custom per archive.

SelfNCCH File Path Data Format

Index word Description
0 Type:
  • 0x0: RomFS
  • 0x1: error 0xD9004676
  • 0x2: ExeFS
  • 0x3: Error 0xE0E046BE.
  • 0x4: FS-module crashes on this
  • 0x5: Update RomFS?
1-2 File name for ExeFS ("icon"/"banner"/"logo"). ".code" is not allowed

Note that ExeFS files only support reading from offset=0 and with size=file_size.

SystemSaveData Archive Path Data Format

FS

Index word Description
0 Mediatype (must be zero for NAND)
1 saveid

The file/directory lowpath is a text lowpath in the savegame filesystem.

FSPXI

Index word Description
0 u8 Mediatype (must be zero for NAND)

The file lowpath is a binary lowpath containing the u64 saveid, however the high word of the saveid is always zero. The mounted file is the cleartext savegame image. Up to 32 SystemSaveData image files can be opened under a single mounted FSPXI archive.

UserSaveDataForCheck Archive Path Data Format

Index word Description
0 Mediatype (must be non-zero)
1 Lower word saveid
2 Upper word saveid

The file/directory lowpath for this FS archive is a text path in the savegame filesystem.

0x567890B4 Archive Path Data Format

Index word Description
0 Mediatype
1 Lower_word_saveid >> 8 ?
2 Unknown. Game calculate this using formula 0xFFFFFF00 | unknown_b

ExtSaveData Archive Path Data Format

Index word Description
0 Mediatype
1 Lower word saveid
2 Upper word saveid

For FS, the file/directory lowpath is a text path in the extdata filesystem. For FSPXI, the file lowpath is a text path relative to the "/extdata/<ExtdataIDHigh>/<ExtdataIDLow>" directory on SD/NAND, for the cleartext extdata image to mount.

0x2345678A Archive Path Data Format

Index word Description
0 Lower word programID
1 Upper word programID
2 (Mediatype & 0xFF) | (uninitialized_data? & 0xFFFFFF00)
3 Number of something? Hardcoded per-archive, 0 for ExeFS, 200 for area:, 100 for rate:, 40 for eula:, etc.

File lowpath:

Index word Description
0 0 for NCCH data, 1 for savedata. The latter is only valid for FSPXI. Value 2 is allowed via archive 0x3, it's unknown what this is.
1 TMD content index / NCSD partition index.
2 Type: 0=romfs(0 for non-NCCH as well), 1=exefs ".code"(?), 2=exefs "icon"/"banner"/"logo", 3=unknown, 4=unknown, 5=unknown.
3-4 Filename for ExeFS.

The 0x14-byte lowpath is all-zero for accessing the title's main RomFS.

RomFS

Archives 0x3 and 0x2345678E both allow for accessing the level-3 IVFC images for RomFS access. The main CXI RomFS is accessible via an all-zero 0xc-byte binary file-lowpath. The update RomFS can be accessed with the first u32 in the binary file-lowpath being set to 0x5. The user must handle parsing the filesystem used in the exposed image itself.

With FSPXI the returned data for RomFS is the entire RomFS section from the NCCH, starting at the IVFC header.

The 0x3 archive is an interface for the 0x2345678E archive with the current process programID+mediatype. The file lowpath is 3-words. These words are written to 0x2345678E-archive file_lowpath+0, with the rest of that lowpath set to all-zero(lowpath is different from archive 0x2345678A). File lowpath:

Index word Description
0 See above. The only values which FS-module doesn't allow to be used here are:
  • 0x1: Error 0xE0E046BE.
  • 0x3: Error 0xE0E046BE.
  • 0x4: FS-module executes svcBreak when using this.
1-2 See above. Not validated by FS-module.

SEEDDB

With 9.6.0-X new System_SaveData with saveID 0001000F was added, this seems to be handled by FS-module itself, probably via the new service-cmds added to fsuser. Home Menu and NIM module have access to those commands.

The SEEDDB savedata contains the title-unique seed-data used for the new NCCH keyY generation added with FIRM 9.6.0-X.
