Dev2 →FCRAM memory-regions layout
FCRAM is partitioned into three regions of memory (APPLICATION, SYSTEM, and BASE). Most applications can only allocate memory from one of these regions (which is encoded in the [[NCCH/Extended_Header#ARM11_Kernel_Flags|process kernel flags]]). There is a fixed set of possible size of each memory region, determined by the APPMEMTYPE value in [[Configuration_Memory#APPMEMTYPE|configuration memory]] (which in turn is set up according to the [[FIRM#FIRM_Launch_Parameters|firmware launch parameters]]).

Support for APPMEMTYPEs 6 and 7 was implemented in [[NS]] with [[8.0.0-18]]. These configurations are only supported in the [[New_3DS]] ARM11-kernel, and are in fact the only ones supported there at all. Applications only get access to the larger memory regions when this is specified in their [[NCCH/Extended Header#New3DS System Mode|extended header]].
