This page describes the format of the Cfg NAND savegame. These blocks can be accessed with the Cfg service commands.

Structure of save-file "/config"

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x2 Total entries
0x2 0x2 Data entries offset
0x4 0x4558 Block entries
0x455C Data for the entries

The filesize for this /config file is 0x8000-bytes.

Configuration block entry

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 BlkID
0x4 0x4 Offset to the data for this block when size is >4, otherwise this word is the data for this block
0x8 0x2 Size
0xA 0x2 Access Flags

Access Flags

Bit Mask Description
0x2 User Readable (cfg:u)
0x4 System Writable (cfg:s / cfg:i)
0x8 System Readable (cfg:s / cfg:i)

Config blocks will typically either use 0xC for system readable/writable or 0xE for all 3.

0x00090000 0x8 0xE This contains a u64 ID, used by processes using NWMUDS:InitializeWithVersion. The first word is the same as LocalFriendCodeSeed, while the latter is a separate word.
0x00090001 0x8 0xE Same content as 0x0009000? This console-unique u64 is used by GenHashConsoleUnique. It is generated by ((0x3FFFFFFFF) & LocalFriendCodeSeed) | (random16 << 48)), where random16 is generated by GenerateRandomBytes

svcKernelSetState(6, 2, (u64)debug_flags & 2); (see here) where debug_flags is the u32 located at offset 0xC in this struct. Then it compares the u32 from +8 in this config-block with the APPMEMTYPE. When those don't match NS starts a FIRM-launch (with the same FIRM titleID as the currently running one) to boot into a FIRM with the APPMEMTYPE value from this config-block. The byte at offset 0x0 is related to the memtype as well.

0x00100000 0x2 0xC TWL EULA info ({bool agreed; u8 agreedVersion})

0x00110000 0x4 0xC The low u16 indicates whether the system setup is required, such as when the system is booted for the first time or after doing a System Format: 0 = setup required, non-zero = no setup required
0x00110001 0x8 0xC TitleID of the menu to launch, used by NS on dev units (this block can be edited on dev units with Config)
0x00120000 0x8 0xC Volume Slider Bounds (Read by HID and PTM)
0x00130000 0x4 0xE If response is 0x100 then debug mode is enabled.
0x00150000 0x4 0xC Clock Sequence (u16) used for generating UUIDs in ACT.
0x00150001 0x8 0xC ?
0x00150002 0x4 0xE In NIM, taken as an u32, using the low u16, casted to a char, and turned lower case for the making of the url for NPNS.
0x00160000 0x4 0xE Unknown, first byte is used by config service-cmd 0x00070040. (Unknown whether the last 3-bytes are used)
0x00170000 0x4 0xE Miiverse (OLV) access key
0x00180000 0x4 0xC QTM Infrared LED related, can be 0 or 1
0x00180001 0x18 0xC QTM calibration data
0x00190000 0x1 0xC Unknown. NFC-module checks for value1/non-value1.

The developer unit TID block only exists on developer units.

LCD display config

There seems to be some sort of LCD display configuration stored in this cfg. When using the cfg-save from an Old3DS on a New3DS without formatting the cfg first, the bottom-screen display is somewhat off(which is fixed by formatting the cfg-save).
