游戏卡带

物理接口

3ds游戏卡带拥有与通常DS或DSi一样的物理接口。它们的区别只有塑料卡壳右上角的一个装饰槽，它能阻止卡带插入到旧的Nintendo DS或DSi系统中。

当去除装饰槽以使卡带适于插入DS或DSi系统中时，它们拒绝检测卡带，并无法显示标题图标。

引脚	名称	描述
1	GND	接地。
2	CLK	时钟信号。DS/DSi游戏卡带频率分别为6.7MHz和4.2MHz，3DS游戏卡带上升到16.6MHz（用于SPI和ROM传输）。
3	NC	未连接。可能用于编程卡(program card?翻译待查证)。
4	RCS	ROM选择，低电平有效。送低电平开始传输ROM。
5	RST	重置信号。低电平有效。
6	ECS	存游戏芯片（Savegame chip）选择，低电平有效。送低电平开始存游戏SPI传输（savegame SPI transfer）。
7	IRQ	移除检测。
8	VCC	提供3.3V电压。
9	DAT0	双向数据总线。
10	DAT1	双向数据总线。
11	DAT2	双向数据总线。
12	DAT3	双向数据总线。
13	DAT4	双向数据总线 /存游戏芯片上的NC/SIO3引脚。
14	DAT5	双向数据总线 /存游戏芯片上的WP#/SIO2引脚。
15	DAT6	双向数据总线 /存游戏芯片上的SO/SIO1引脚。
16	DAT7	双向数据总线 /存游戏芯片上的SI/SIO0引脚。
17	GND	接地。

SPI闪存

目前为止，只有存游戏闪存芯片(savegame FLASH chip)被识别了。这块芯片被识别为0xC22211。JEDEC制造ID为Macronix，此外芯片标签为25L1001，与 MX25L1021E相符。 数据表位于：http://www.macronix.com/QuickPlace/hq/PageLibrary4825740B00298A3B.nsf/h_Index/3F21BAC2E121E17848257639003A3146/$File/MX25L1021E,%203V,%201Mb,%20v0.01.pdf 。不论如何，MX25L1021E不支持3DS用于与SPI闪存（SPI flash）交换数据的4位宽传输。因此，这可能是一块定制闪存芯片。

格式

Cartridge及系统更新存放在为此预留的区块内。 在ROM里，能找到小于1GB的CART_SIZE_MAX-( 0x280000*(CART_SIZE_MAX/CART_SIZE_128MB) )-0x2000000的更新区块。该区块为0x2000000字节。

通信协议

与DS和DSi游戏卡带相比，3DS系统与3DS游戏卡带的通信协议几乎完全改变了。

在第6个传输以后，命令从8字节变为16字节。可能使用了新的加密手段，比如AES CTR。 使用16字节命令后，数据总线维护0x00直到卡带返回表示准备好的单字节数据0x01，接着是实际数据。每0x200字节块实际数据后，是4字节的（未加密的）该字节块的标准CRC32码。

( After the sixth transfer, commands change size from 8 bytes to 16 bytes. Possibly a new encryption is used, such as AES CTR. When 16-byte commands are used, the data bus maintains the value 0x00 until the card signals it is ready by clocking a single byte 0x01, followed by the actual data. After each 0x200-byte block of actual data, a 4-byte standard CRC32 of the block data (before encryption) follows. )

下面是3DS发送给3DS游戏卡带的一组游戏卡带命令样本:

Here's a set of sample gamecard commands that a 3DS sends to a 3DS gamecard:

头部命令有一些无用的初始字节，最后返回一个0x200字节的头部。下面是乐高星球大战3( Lego Starwars 3)的样本:

（The header command has some initial dummy bytes, and eventually responds with a 0x200 byte header. Here's an example for Lego Starwars 3:）
