==Custom SpotPass content==

~~All data downloaded with~~ SpotPass ~~''must'' use~~ the signed~~+encrypted BOSS~~ [[~~SpotPass|container~~]]. ~~There doesn~~'t ~~seem to~~ be ~~any way to write to the SpotPass data stored in extdata via service commands either~~.

SpotPass supports raw content download without using the encrypted+signed SpotPass container(raw content is used by [[Home Menu]] SpotPass VersionList for example). However, this is incompatible with the data-loading method used with SpotPass-container content(NsData commands can't be used with it).

~~Therefore~~, the ~~only known ways~~ to ~~use~~ custom SpotPass ~~content~~(~~homebrew usage etc~~) is: "CFW" / ARM11-kernelhax with the sigchecks for this patched, or some sort of BOSS-sysmodule exploit if there's any vulns to begin with.

When writing the raw content, it firsts deletes and creates the "<taskID>" file under the data-storage extdata with normal extdata(not the separate boss archive). Once successful, the final filename specified by the task config will be deleted if needed, then the "<taskID>" file will be renamed to the final filename. Afterwards, the user-process can access the final file just like any other extdata file.

For using custom content with the SpotPass container(like official titles), the only known ways to do so is: "CFW" / ARM11-kernelhax with the sigchecks for this patched, or some sort of BOSS-sysmodule exploit if there's any vulns to begin with.
