===SPI flash===
So far, only one savegame FLASH chip has been identified. The chip identifies as a 0xC22211. The JEDEC manufacturer ID is Macronix, and despite the chip label saying 25L1001, the JEDEC ID matches the MX25L1021E. Datasheet at: http://www.macronix.com/QuickPlace/hq/PageLibrary4825740B00298A3B.nsf/h_Index/3F21BAC2E121E17848257639003A3146/$File/MX25L1021E,%203V,%201Mb,%20v0.01.pdf. However, the MX25L1021E doesn't support the 4 bit wide transmission that the 3DS uses to talk to the SPI flash. It is thus likely that this is a custom flash chip.

Cartridges can come in several sizes and include system updates in a region reserved for this. In ROMs less than 1GB the update region can be found with:
CART_SIZE_MAX-( 0x280000 * (CART_SIZE_MAX/CART_SIZE_128MB) )-0x2000000. The update region is then 0x2000000 bytes in length.
