0x000A0000 Block

Byte Description
0x0-0x13 UTF-16 username, with no NULL-terminator.
0x14-17 Usually zero?
0x18-0x1B u32 NGWord version the username was last checked with. If this value is less than the u32 stored in the NGWord CFA "romfs:/version.dat", the system then checks the username string with the bad-word list CFA again, then updates this field with the value from the CFA


LCD display config

There seems to be some sort of LCD display configuration stored in this cfg. When using the cfg-save from an Old3DS on a New3DS without formatting the cfg first, the bottom-screen display is somewhat off(which is fixed by formatting the cfg-save).


Parental control Block 0x00100001

Byte Size in bytes Description
0x0 0xD Unknown.
0xD 0x4 PIN
0x11 ? Secret answer in UTF-16
