==== The SAVE file system ====
==== The SAVE partition ====
* The SAVE filesystem works with a backup. There are two SAVE blocks inside the partition concatenated. Which SAVE block is the updated one is unknown yet.. (I'm guessing from experience that (image[0x100B] & 0x20) == 0x20 --> 1st SAVE --[[User:Elisherer|Elisherer]] 01:30, 18 October 2011 (CEST))

The first entry is the both tables is the count of the table, the parent directory index will be the amount of table rows. The root includes the itself, so there are amount - 1 folders in the root directory. The entries that follow after the root are the actual folders/files.
The first entry in both tables is the count of the table, the parent directory index will be the amount of table rows. The root includes itself, so there are the amount - 1 (minus one) folders in the root directory (or files). The entries that follow after the root are the actual folders/files.
Reading the files out is as simple as taking the file base offset and adding (block_offset * 0x200) to it.

* The FolderMap and FileMap still unknown. They are tables of uint32.
* The BlockMap is a map of the blocks in the filestore. An entry in the BlockMap is 2 uint32: {uint32 start_block; uint32 end_block; }. This is still being researched. (You can use [[3DSExplorer]] to see those maps.
