4 OptimizeMemoryAllocation

MainThreadPriority

Ranges from 0 to 0x3F.

SystemResourceSize

This is the size of PersonalMmHeap. Maximum size as of 5.0.0 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.

In non-nspwn scenarios, values of 0 can also rarely break in Horizon. This might be something auto-adapting or a security feature of some sort?

FsAccessControl

For ACID this is a simple descriptor as follows:

0x24 0x8 SaveDataOwnerIdMax
0x2C 0x8 * ContentOwnerIdCount [5.0.0+] ContentOwnerIds
Variable 0x8 * SaveDataOwnerIdCount [5.0.0+] SaveDataOwnerIds

For ACI0 this embeds data as follows:

Offset Size Description

63 FullPermission Enables access to everything: all permission types which check a bitmask have this bit set.

Controls the filesystem permissions.

Web-applets permissions:

  • "LibAppletWeb" and "LibAppletOff" have same access control: bit0 and bit3 set, and bit62 set.
  • Rest of the web-applets: Same as above except bit0 isn't set.

Service Access Control

Bits Description
0-2 Size (length of the service-name without null-terminator minus 1)
7 IsServer (service is allowed to be registered)
Variable Name

This is a list of service-name strings which the title has access to.

The service name string starts after the first byte and supports the wildcard * character.

4-9 LowestPriority
10-15 HighestPriority
16-23 MinCoreNumber
24-31 MaxCoreNumber

EnableSystemCalls

Bits Description
5-28 SystemCallId
29-31 Index

MemoryMap

MemoryMap entries are stored in pairs. The first pair will contain BeginAddress and PermissionType, while the second pair will contain Size and MappingType.

Bits Description
7-30 BeginAddress
31 PermissionType (0=RW, 1=RO)
Bits Description
7-26 Size
27-30 Reserved
31 MappingType (0=Io, 1=Static)

Restrictions

The physaddr range 0x80060000-0x2000000000 is not allowed to be mapped as IO. 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)
  • 0x7000E000 (RTC/PMC)
  • 0x70019000 (MC)
  • 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

IoMemoryMap

Bits Description
8-31 BeginAddress

MemoryRegionMap

Bits Description
11-16 RegionType0 (0 = NoMapping, 1 = KernelTraceBuffer, 2 = OnMemoryBootImage, 3 = DTB)
17 RegionIsReadOnly0
18-23 RegionType1 (0 = NoMapping, 1 = KernelTraceBuffer, 2 = OnMemoryBootImage, 3 = DTB)
24 RegionIsReadOnly1
25-30 RegionType2 (0 = NoMapping, 1 = KernelTraceBuffer, 2 = OnMemoryBootImage, 3 = DTB)
31 RegionIsReadOnly2

MemoryRegionMap is supported by the kernel but not by Loader. Thus, only initial processes may possess this capability.

EnableInterrupts

Bits Description
12-21 InterruptNumber0
22-31 InterruptNumber1

0x3FF means empty.

MiscParams

Bits Description
14-16 ProgramType (0 = System, 1 = Application, 2 = Applet)

ProgramType is parsed by Process Manager services. Defaults to 0 if descriptor doesn't exist. Can only run 1 application at a time.

KernelVersion

Bits Description
15-18 MinorVersion
19-31 MajorVersion

This is compared with 0x80000, when less than an error is returned. This is equivalent to comparing the bits starting at bit15 with 0x10. This enforces a minimum required version, not a maximum.

Versions
