ID0 is the first 0x10-bytes from a SHA256 [[nand/private/movable.sed|hash]]. The installation of [[SD Filesystem|SD Card]] titles was introduced in the [[2.0.0-2]] update and the SD dbs files are encrypted. These files are [[extdata]] images. The NAND extdata images are cleartext, however some of the images contain data encrypted with a console-unique keyslot.
ID0 is the first 0x10-bytes from a SHA256 [[nand/private/movable.sed|hash]]. The installation of [[SD Filesystem|SD Card]] titles was introduced in the [[2.0.0-2]] update and the SD dbs files are encrypted by [[SD Filesystem|the general SD filesystem encryption rule]]. These files are [[DISA and DIFF|DIFF containers]]. These DIFF files do not use external IVFC level 4, so all database data is duplicated in the container. In this page only the inner content of the container is described.
 
These files are only created on SD (via [[Application_Manager_Services|AM]]) if they don't exist when the [[eShop]] application is starting up, during network init etc (prior to showing the "system update required" dialog).


These files are stored under this directory:

The .db [[extdata|Extdata]] image embeds two almost identical copies(the latter is probably an older backup) of the title database. These database files consist of a pre-header with size of 0x80 identifying the Database Type, followed by a BDRI container. The offsets in the BDRI header are usually relative to the offset to the start of the BDRI header (0x80 in the file)

Information stored about titles in these Title Database files are stored in two parts in a BDRI partition. Firstly in a Title Entry Table, and secondly in a Title Info Table.
This is a variant of [[Inner FAT|FAT filesystem]]. It consists one "root" directory and multiple "files". Each "file" is one title info entry described below.
 
=== Title Info Entry ===
 
An entry contains information taken from both the application NCCH file(s) and TMD.

== Title Entry Table ==
 
This contains 'Entries' for all the titles stored in the database. However this just appears to be an indexing table, the majority of title information is kept in a Title Info Table, which these index entries point to. Title Entries start immediately after the Title Entry Table Header. And there is no padding between entries.

* The actual Title Info offset is calculated by the following: Offset of BDRI Header + Relative Offset of Title Entry Table + Relative Title Info Offset
=== Ticket Info Entry ===
 
For ticket.db entries, there is a header indicates ticket count (as a Title ID can have more than one ticket installed). Then each entry contains the size, followed by the actual ticket data.
 
== Title Info Table ==
 
These consist of 0x80 byte long entries, pointed to by the title index entries. They contain information taken from both the application NCCH file(s) and TMD.

== Tools ==
Removing ticket.db from a New-3DS with signature checks disabled will not result in an unbootable system, however all icons except Slot-1 will disappear from Home. Applets can however still be used. Recovery can be accomplished via [[Hardware|hardmod]] or [[arm9loaderhax]] plus a known good backup of the file (or the whole partition or disk); Gamecard exploits were not tested, and Browserhax did not work.
