ACI0
Looks like an old crappy version of ACID. It has the guessed version field 0 instead of 1.
FS Access Control
Word | Bit | Description |
---|---|---|
0 | Version? Always 1. | |
1 | 0 | MountContent* is accessible when set. |
0 | 3 | This is only bit set for ShopN in the permissions-u32. |
Service Access Control
This is a list of service-name strings which the title has access to, with the following structure:
+0: control_byte +1: {service-name without nul-terminator}
Bitmask 0x0F in control_byte is the {length of the service-name without nul-terminator} - 1.
Bitmask 0x80 in control_byte means service is allowed to be registered.
The service string can contain a wildcard *
character.
Kernel Access Control
On Switch, descriptors are identified by pattern 01..11 in low bits.
Pattern of bits 15-0 | Type | Fields |
---|---|---|
0bxxxxxxxxxxxx0111
|
Kernel flags | ? |
0bxxxxxxxxxxx01111
|
Syscall mask | Bits 29-31: Syscall mask table index; Bits 5-28: mask |
0bxxxxxxxxx0111111
|
Map IO page | Bits 7-31: page |
0bxxxxxxxx01111111
|
Map IO range | Bits 7-31: page then size alternating |
0bxxxx011111111111
|
Interrupt pair | Bits 12-21: irq0, bits 20-31: irq1, 0x3FF means empty. |
