Swapdoodle

Swapdoodle is the successor of the Swapnote application that allows you to send doodles to friends using SpotPass.

Credits for Miles (with the BPK1 structures) and MrNbaYoh (with the custom CRC32 checksum) for providing information!

SpotPass usage

Currently, only three SpotPass endpoints are known to exist:

  • https://npdl.cdn.nintendowifi.net/p01/nsa/<regionID>/RNG_LS1/dstsetting LZ10 compressed BPK1 structure
  • https://npdl.cdn.nintendowifi.net/p01/nsa/<regionID>/RNG_EC1/1.dlp
  • https://npdl.cdn.nintendowifi.net/p01/nsa/<regionID>/RNG_MD1/dstdatList.bin

Where regionID goes the value from the below table.

Region ID
USA 0hFlOFo7pNTU2dyE

Also, the game uses Hpp servers for posting doodles and making status updates.

BPK1

The BPK1 structure is used in almost all game data files. Some of the files that use this structure are LZ10 compressed (like the ones used for doodles and stationery).

The structure starts with a BPK1 header, followed by all of its block headers, which can share names between each other. The headers are the followed by each block's data, which can hold any data (including another BPK1 structure).

All of the structure entries are stored as little-endian data.

0x0 0x44 BPK1 header

Additional blocks data

BPK1 header

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Header magic (BPK1)
0x4 0x4 Number of blocks
0x8 0x4 Unknown (always 0x7?)
0xC 0x4 Structure length
0x10 0x4 Header length
0x14 0x2C Padding
0x40 0x4 Header length

Block header

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Block size
0x4 0x4 Checksum of block data
0x8 Block name (null terminated)
0x4 Size of BPK1 header and previous blocks (including this one)

Block checksum

The checksum of each block is calculated as a custom CRC-32 checksum of the block's data:

  • Polynomial: 4C11DB7
  • Initial value: 4C11DB7
  • Output XOR: 0

Stationery blocks

The following blocks are used in the stationery files.

STAHED1

This block holds the stationery file name and 0x79 byte padding.

THUMB2

This block holds the thumbnail of the stationery as a JPEG image.

STBARD1

There are two of these blocks. The first one holds a JPEG of the 2D part of the stationery, and the second one holds the 3D part.

STMASK1

This block holds a 256x256 L4 data of the 3D part of the stationery.
