Changes

'''Nintendo Zone''' is the successor to DS Download Stations, offering retailer exclusive content, game videos, screenshots, etc. As of February 6th 2012 demos are available for download, demos are downloaded from the eShop servers and installed to SD card. NZone demos are the same ones available on eShop, these are region-locked as trying to download them from other regions results in an error. USA Best Buy and some other retailers have NZone, this NZone seems to be significantly different from the DS(i) [http://dsibrew.org/wiki/Nintendo_Zone NZone]. Most content available at Best Buy is already available on eShop, like the screenshots/videos, game info etc. The OK Go video is available from NZone however. The OOT video on NZone server is the one from eShop launch like most of the other videos.

Like DSi, when an open 3DS detects NZone the hidden(always accessible for USA) NZone title appears and a notification about it appears. Like DSi this title is already stored on NAND, it's just not visible until you're in range of NZone.(doesn't disappear with sdcard removed) When NZone beacons are in range, 3DS only detects NZone when not connected to Internet already. Once connected to a NZone AP, the beacon payload is cached until disconnected from the AP.

Like DSi, when an open 3DS detects NZone the originally hidden NZone title appears and a notification about it appears. Like DSi this title is already stored on NAND, originally this title only became accessible from home-menu once the 3DS was in a range of a NZone at least once, however at some point with a system update this title became always-accessible. When NZone beacons are in range, 3DS only detects NZone when not connected to Internet already. Once connected to a NZone AP, the beacon payload is cached until disconnected from the AP.

When modified DSi nzone beacons are broadcasted with the 3DS Best Buy ApNum, DSi launcher won't blink the NZone title icon but the title will still semi-work. NZone title would connect to the server, with buttons for demos, Best Buy, and WFC config displayed, but NZone will display an error a while after selecting "Best Buy" service after a bit of loading.(probably unsupported html tags etc)

=== Hotspot.conf format ===

=== Hotspot.conf format ===

The list of NZone hotspots is loaded from "conf:/hotspot.conf" by the AC system applet, where "conf:" is the 000400DB00010502 content archive. This is a CSV file, with LF-style newlines. All of the information stored in the NZone beacon is also stored in this file for each hotspot. This file can list a max of 100 hotspots.(As of title version v1024, hotspot.conf lists 52 hotspots) This format can be parsed by [https://github.com/yellows8/hotspotconf-tool hotspotconf-tool].

Beginning the CSV file is the Interval record and field. Following that is the hotspot records on one line, and the fields for each hotspot on individual lines. Some fields are Base64-encoded, for those the Base64 padding character '*' is used instead of '='.

Hotspots not listed in hotspot.conf can only be used via NZone beacons. The below flags is the combined "IsXXX" fields from hotspot.conf, excluding IsSetToFW. The below hotspot.conf version specifies what title version that hotspot was added to the list, if at all.("None" indicates that it's not listed in hotspot.conf at all and can only be used with NZone beacons. "Unknown" indicates that the hotspot is present in v1024, but it's unknown whether it was in the previous version.)
