== MainThreadPriority ==
Ranges from 0 to 0x3F.
 
== SystemResourceSize ==
When this is non-zero, the kernel reserves this amount of memory and dynamically uses it as needed for page table pages, KMemoryBlocks, and KBlockInfos. When this is zero, the process uses global shared heaps for these.
 
This enables a process to sacrifice some of the memory available to it in order to have higher limits on these resources, thus enabling the use of SvcMapPhysicalMemory.
 
Maximum size as is 0x1FE00000.
 
 
== Version ==
0 for all titles.
 
[8.1.0+] Now set to 1 for certain titles.
 
[9.0.0+] Now set to a proper version field for all titles.
 
== MainThreadStackSize ==
Must be aligned to 0x1000. If zero, kernel will start the process's initial thread with sp=0.

The physaddr range 0x80000000-0x2000000000 is not allowed to be mapped as Normal.
 
[2.0.0-4.1.0] The range for IO was changed into 0x80060000-0x81D3FFFF.
 
[2.0.0-4.1.0] A blacklist was added for IO and Normal mappings:
* 0x50040000-0x50060000 (ARM, Interrupt Controller)
* 0x6000F000 (Exception Vectors)
* 0x6001DC00-0x6001E000 (IPATCH)

* 0x7001C000 (MC0)
* 0x7001D000 (MC1)
 
[5.0.0+] For IO, this blacklist was abandoned and instead two range checks were added. For Normal mappings it is still applied

This encodes the intended kernel version for the program.


Switch version of 3DS ACI(Access Control Info)?
The kernel requires that the intended version is >= the minimum supported version (3.0 for all released kernels), and <= the current version.


=Service Access Control=
Kernel version is derived from/equivalent to SDK version:
This is a list of [[Services_API|service]]-name strings which the title has access to, with the following structure: +0 control_byte, +1 = {service-name without nul-terminator}. Bitmask 0xF in control_byte is the length of the service-name. Bitmask 0x80 is set for services which the title can register, while it's clear for services used with [[Services_API#GetService]].
* Kernel Major = SDK Major + 4
* Kernel Minor = SDK Minor
