=== Hardware key generator ===
A dedicated hardware key generator can be used to generate a keyslot's normalkey from its keyX and keyY by enabling the corresponding bit in REG_AESKEYCNT. If enabled, the hardware key generator is triggered by writing the keyY (which also seems to be the only way to trigger it). The algorithm used for key generation is unknown.

=== FIRM-launch key clearing ===
 
Starting with [[9.0.0-20]] the Process9 FIRM-launch code now "clears" the following AES keyslots, with certain keydata by writing the normal-key: 0x15 and 0x18-0x20. These are the keyslots used by the New3DS [[FIRM]] arm9bin loader(minus keyslot 0x11), the New3DS Process9 does this too.
