0x000B0001	0x800	0x2?	Country name in UTF-16, every 0x80-bytes is an entry for each language, in the order of the Language table below (not all entries are set)
0x000B0002	0x800	0x2?	State name in UTF-16, every 0x80-bytes is an entry for each language

0x000F0000	0x10	0x8?	Unknown, used by NS on dev-units for svcKernelSetState, where Type is 6. During NS startup on debug-units, NS compares the u32 from +8 in this config-block with the APPMEMTYPE. When those don't match NS starts a FIRM-launch (with the same FIRM titleID as the currently running one) to boot into a FIRM with the APPMEMTYPE value from this config-block
0x000F0004	0x4	0x8?	The first u8 is the System-Model value, the last 3-bytes are unknown
0x00110000	0x4	?	The low u16 indicates whether the system setup is required, such as when the system is booted for the first time or after doing a System Format: 0 = setup required, non-zero = no setup required
