Revision as of 02:32, 14 April 2015

The New3DS NFC module was added with 8.1.0-0_New3DS. The Old3DS NFC module was added with 9.3.0-X.

On New3DS NFC module uses the NFC hardware via the i2c::NFC and gpio:NFC services. On Old3DS NFC module communicates with a NFC peripheral via IR with the IRUSER service.

A total of 6 sessions can be open simultaneously for all of these services combined.

NFC services

NFC user service "nfc:u"

This is the NFC service used by regular applications.

This was first seen in the Super Smash Bros eShop demo (only in the exheader, the demo doesn't actually use it), but at that time no system-module was available for NFC on CDN. The first regular application to use this service was Super Smash Bros, with the v1.0.5 game-update, which used the new 9.3.0-21 command set.

NFC management service "nfc:m"

Command Header Available since system-version Name Input Output Notes
0x040100C2 Unknown, <9.3.0-X ??? u32 unknownA, u32 unknownB, u32 unknownC, u32 (sizeof(*buffer) << 14 | 0x402), void * buffer s32 result
0x04020000 9.3.0-X ??? void s32 result, u32 unknownA[16] Output seems to be a struct
0x04030000 9.3.0-X ??? void s32 result, u32 unknownA[41]
0x04040A40 9.3.0-X ??? u32 unknownA[41] s32 result
0x04060000 9.3.0-X ??? void s32 result
0x04070000 9.3.0-X ??? void s32 result, u32 unknownA
0x04080000 9.3.0-X ??? void s32 result, u32 unknownA
0x040C0000 9.3.0-X ? None s32 result Among other things, this will eventually call the savedata code referenced in the below savedata section.
0x040D0000 9.3.0-X ??? void s32 result
0x040E0000 9.3.0-X ??? void s32 result, u32 unknownA, u32 unknownB Again, amiibo applet ignores value unknownA.
0x040F0000 9.3.0-X ??? void s32 result, u32 unknownA, u32 unknownB

This is used by the amiibo Settings applet. This service has the above commands, in addition to the command-set listed below.

NFC development service "nfc:dev"

This service seems to be intended for use only on dev-units(or at least some of the command(s)).

Unlike the New3DS NFC-module, at least some of these commands are stubbed in the Old3DS NFC-module(only returns an error).

NFC service "nfc:p"

This service is used by the mint library-applet, starting with 9.3.0-21. This service was added to the mint service-access-control list with 9.0.0-20.

NFC service "nfc:r"

This service has no known use.

NFC service "nfc:s"

This service has no known use.

Unlike the New3DS NFC-module, at least some of these commands are stubbed in the Old3DS NFC-module(only returns an error).

"nfc:u" and "nfc:m" command set

There are at least two different revisions of the NFC module. First version was introduced on New3DS only with firmware 8.1.0-0_New3DS. Second version made its appearance with 9.3.0-X, on both Old3DS and New3DS.

These two versions are not interchangeable and not compatible, since the newer version uses a different command set and has no implemented commands from the older version. This does not introduce compatibility problems since no retail software used the NFC module, before the system titles added with 9.3.0-21 which use NFC.

9.3.0-X

Command Header Name Input Output Notes
0x00010040 nfcInit u8 unknownA, can be 1 or 2. s32 result The two input values appear have the same result, except in addition NFC module will call some more functions with value 2. NFC module will eventually execute the savedata writing code referenced in the below savedata section with this command.

0x000B0000 ??? void s32 result, u32 unknownA, u32 unknownB amiibo applet ignores value unknownA. It doesn't even read it from the command buffer.
0x000C0000 ??? void s32 result, u32 unknownA, u32 unknownB amiibo applet also ignores value unknownA for this command.

NFC module savedata

  • "/nfp_backup.dat" Going by the filename this seems to contain data backed up from amiibo. The NFC module from 9.3.0-X doesn't seem to do any actual reading from this, just writing?
