CardKeyArea

This region cannot be read directly once written to the Gamecard. Therefore, it is hidden away during read/write operations on the raw Gamecard data.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x200 #InitialData
0x200 0xD00 #TitleKeyArea
0xF00 0x100 Reserved

InitialData

This region is used for challenge–response authentication when changing to the Gamecard's secure mode.

FS calculates a SHA-256 hash over the whole 0x200 bytes and compares it with the hash stored at offset 0x160 in the #CardHeader.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x8 Package ID from #CardHeader at offset 0x110

CertArea

This is the Gamecard's unique certificate.

FS retrieves this data with GetGameCardDeviceCertificate.

NormalArea

This region contains all non-secure partitions of the Gamecard file system.

Offset Size Description
Variable Variable RootPartitionHeader
Variable Variable UpdatePartitionHeader
Variable Variable UpdatePartition
Variable Variable [4.0.0+] LogoPartitionHeader
Variable Variable [4.0.0+] LogoPartition
Variable Variable NormalPartitionHeader
Variable Variable NormalPartition

UpdatePartition

This partition contains .cnmt.nca + .nca files for the entire system update required to play the game. Launch day carts contain a full copy of 1.0 ncas, newer carts contain newer sysupdate NCAs etc.

NormalPartition

This partition contains the .cnmt.nca and the game icondata nca. This is presumably for future compatibility so that if a future update changes the cryptographic protocol for the secure partition. Game icon data can still be shown in the home menu on old firmwares.

[4.0.0+] This partition is now empty.

LogoPartition

[4.0.0+] This partition now contains the contents of the #NormalPartition.

RomArea

This region contains all secure partitions of the Gamecard file system.

Offset Size Description
Variable Variable SecurePartitionHeader
Variable Variable SecurePartition

SecurePartition

This partition contains an identical copy of the .cnmt.nca and game icondata nca, as well as all other ncas required for the game.

PartitionFs

This is the Gamecard file system which starts with magicnum "HFS0".

PartitionFsHeader

The "SHA-256 File System" or "HFS0" starts at offset 0x10000 in the Gamecard. The first 0x200 bytes act as a global header and represent the root partition which points to the other partitions ("normal", "logo", "update" and "secure").

A hash for this header is stored at offset 0x140 in the #CardHeader.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Magic ("HFS0")
0x4 0x4 FileCount
0x8 0x4 StringTableSize
0xC 0x4 Reserved
0x10 X #FileEntryTable
0x10 + X Y StringTable
0x10 + X + Y Z RawFileData

FileEntryTable

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x8 Offset of file in Data
0x8 0x8 Size of file in Data
0x10 0x4 Offset of filename in String Table
0x14 0x4 Size of Hashed region of file (for HFS0s, this is the size of the pre-filedata portion, for NCAs this is usually 0x200)
0x18 8 Zero/Reserved
0x20 0x20 SHA-256 hash of the first (size of hashed region) bytes of filedata

The string table is 00-padded to align the start of raw filedata with a sector/media unit boundary (usually?).
