Line 1: − + − At: − * nand/data/<ID>/extdata/<ExtdataID-High> − * sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/extdata/<ExtdataID-High> − (ExtdataID-High is always 00000000 for SD, and always 00048000 for NAND) Some titles can have Quota.dat stored in these directories. The directory-name for these directories is the ExtdataID-Low. Then there's a sub-directory 00000000, which contains the actual extdata. Size and number of files in this dir varies per title.+ − NAND stores the shared extdata and is structured exactly the same way, see [[Flash Filesystem]].+ − Extdata image 00000001 contains a VSXE partition for the FST, the actual file data is stored in the subsequent extdata images.+ − Regular apps can only mount SD extdata using the same extdataID which is stored in the [[NCCH#CXI|CXI]] exheader. Therefore, regular apps which have the exheader extdataID set to zero can't use extdata. This restriction doesn't apply for shared extdata with extdataID high bitmask 0x48000 stored on NAND. System apps with a certain access right can mount arbitrary extdata.+ − All NAND extdata is shared extdata, while all SD extdata is normal extdata. Thus, normal extdata doesn't exist on NAND, and shared extdata doesn't exist on SD. The extdataID high excluding that bitmask is always zero for shared extdata. − + − These files are [[AES|encrypted]] with AES-CTR, the keyslot is initialized by [[nand/private/movable.sed|movable.sed]]. The same keyslot is used for the NAND/SD extdata MAC. The NAND extdata images are stored in cleartext. The WCHAR LowPath "/extdata/<ExtdataIDHigh>/<ExtdataIDLow>/<PathToImage>" text path is hashed with SHA-256, including the WCHAR null-terminator. A separate hash is used for Quota.dat. The base CTR seems to be then generated by XORing the calculated hash: CTRword[i] = Hashword[i] ^ Hashword[4+i].+ − The base CTR is fixed therefore the CTR never changes after each write. Thus it is possible to obtain some cleartext by XORing one file(like newly created extdata) with a newer file, where the newer file overwrote zeros in the original file with non-zero data.+ + − === Format ===+ − Extdata uses dual 'partitions' of IVFC hash trees to store data. The order of data in Extdata is as follows:+ − + − * DIFF Header+ − * Secondary DIFI Partition descriptor − * Primary DIFI Partition descriptor − * Secondary Partition IVFC Hash Tree − − * DATA Partition (If applicable) − Only one Partition is active at a given time, this is determined by the DIFF header. Normally the 'data' contained in extdata is stored at level4 of the IVFC hash tree, and hence there are two versions of the 'data' stored in the Extdata image (although only one is 'active'). However if DIFI flags[0] is set, this indicates it is a DATA partition and the 'data' is stored outside the IVFC hash tree, at a relative offset defined by the DIFI partition (in this case there will be only one version of the 'data' stored in the Extdata image).+ − + + + + + + + − The chain of trust in extdata is as follows:+ − * MAC verifies DIFF Header+ − * DIFF Selects and verifies via Active DIFI partition descriptor − * Active DIFI partition descriptor points to the location of active IVFC tree (and data if applicable), and provides the hash blob to verify Level 1 of the IVFC hash tree − * Each IVFC level verifies the next level, until Level 4(data). − === Filesystem ===+ − + − Title extdata contains a series of extdata images which comprise an independent file system. The first image (00000001) contains the VSXE (FST) partition, and subsequent images each containing a single file. Other extdata images, such as Quota.dat and [[Title Database|database extdata]], exist independent of a FS. − − ==== VSXE ==== − − |- − − + + + + + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + + + + + − + − + + + + + − + − + + + + + − + − + − + − + − + − + − |} − − Data Table: − − {| class="wikitable" − !

This page describes the format and encryption of extdata, "extra data" stored on [[SD_Filesystem|SD card]] and [[Flash_Filesystem|NAND]].
This page describes the format and encryption of extdata, "extra data" stored on SD card and NAND, at:
* <code>nand/data/<ID>/extdata/<ExtdataID-High></code>
* <code>sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/extdata/<ExtdataID-High></code>
ExtdataID-High is always 00000000 for SD, and always 00048000 for NAND. Regular apps can only mount SD extdata using the same extdataID which is stored in the CXI exheader. Therefore, regular apps which have the exheader extdataID set to zero can't use extdata. This restriction doesn't apply for shared extdata with extdataID high bitmask 0x48000 stored on NAND. System apps with a certain access right can mount arbitrary extdata. All NAND extdata is shared extdata, while all SD extdata is normal extdata.
All data in this page is little-endian. All "unused / padding" fields can contain uninitialized data unless otherwise specified.
=== Encryption ===
= Format =
To avoid confusion, the terms '''device directory / file''' and '''virtual directory / file''' are used with the following meanings:
* '''Device directory / file''' are the real directory / file stored on SD / NAND that can be seen under path <code>nand/data/<ID>/extdata/</code> or <code>sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/extdata/</code>.
* '''Virtual directory / file''' are directory / file stored inside extdata virtual file system, which can be seen by applications in the mounted extdata archives.
An extdata consists of several device directories and files, which forms a file system consisting of multiple virtual directories and files.
An extdata with ID <code>ExtdataId</code> has the following device files:
* AES MAC
* <code>.../extdata/<ExtdataID-High>/<ExtdataId-Low>/Quota.dat</code> (optional)
* <code>.../extdata/<ExtdataID-High>/<ExtdataId-Low>/<SubDirID>/<SubFileID></code>
* Primary Partition IVFC Hash Tree
Note:
==== Chain Of Trust ====
* All device files are [[DISA and DIFF|DIFF containers]]. '''All format description below is about the inner content of the containers'''. Please unwrap these files first according to the DIFF format description before reading them using the extdata format description below.
* <code>Quota.dat</code> is only observed existing for NAND shared extdata.
* <code><SubDirID></code> and <code><SubFileID></code> are 8-digit hex strings.
* Device file with <code>SubDirID = SubFileID = 00000000</code> doesn't exist. Other ID combinations can exists.
* Device file with <code>SubDirID = 00000000</code> and <code>SubFileID = 00000001</code> is the VSXE metadata file and must exist.
* Other files, besides <code>Quota.dat</code> and <code>00000000/00000001</code>, are normal sub files, are these device files one-to-one correspond to virtual files. They contain raw virtual file data in the DIFF inner content.
* <code>SubDirID = 00000000</code> is usually the only one device directory that can be seen. See [[#Device Directory Capacity]] for more information.
== Quota File ==
The inner data of <code>Quota.dat</code> is 0x48 bytes with the following format. The file seems to limit the extdata total size.

===== File Table =====
== Device Directory Capacity ==
A device directory in an extdata (a <code><SubDirID></code> directory) seems to have a maximum number of device files it can contain. For SD extdata, this maximum number seems to be hard-coded as 126. For NAND extdata, the number is probably indicated by a field in Quota.dat, which is, again, always 126 as observed. 3DS FS tries to put all device files in the device directory <code>00000000</code> if possible, and only when more than 126 files needed to add, a second device directory <code>00000001</code> and so on are created. However, few extdata have such amount of files to store, so the behavior lacks of use cases to confirm.
The number 126 is probably from some kind of other capacity of 128 with <code>"."</code> and <code>".."</code> entries reserved. It is theorized that this is to keep a FAT directory table, with 0x20 bytes for each entry, in one 0x1000 cluster. The motivation is unclear.
== VSXE Filesystem ==
This is one variant of the [[Inner FAT|FAT filesystem]]. Please refer to its page for the description of the filesystem. In general, device file <code>00000000/00000001</code> contains the metadata of the filesystem, while other device files (except for the Quota file) contains normal sub-files
Each non-dummy file entry corresponds to a device file. The path to the device file is generated by the following computation:
<pre>// See previous section about this capacity
const uint32_t device_dir_capacity = 126;
// entry index is the index in the file entry table, with the first dummy entry as
// index = 0, which is never used for a real file.
// file_index = 1 is reserved for the VSXE Filesystem Metadata itself, so real files
// started from file_index = 2.
uint32_t file_index = entry_index + 1;
uint32_t SubDirID = file_index / device_dir_capacity;
uint32_t SubFileID = file_index % pdevice_dir_capacity;
char extdata_path[...]; // ".../extdata/<ExtdataID-High>/<ExtdataId-Low>"
char device_path[...]; // output path
sprintf(device_path, "%s/%08x/%08x", extdata_path, SubDirID, SubFileID);
</pre>
When mounting extdata, the unique identifier is used to match the ID stored in subfile's [[DISA and DIFF#DIFF header|DIFF header]]. If the ID doesn't match, mounting will fail.
== Virtual File System Structure ==
When extdata is created, these are ''always'' created regardless of whether the title actually uses them.
* <code>/icon</code> This virtual file contains the extdata icon displayed in data management. This icon can only be written to by titles when creating extdata, titles would have to recreate extdata to change the icon. This file can't be read directly, instead it is read via FS:ReadExtSaveDataIcon.
* <code>/user/</code> This virtual directory contains the title's actual extdata files.
* <code>/boss/</code> This virtual directory can contain SpotPass content. SpotPass content can only be downloaded to this <code>/boss</code> virtual directory.
User extdata and SpotPass extdata use separate mount points at <code>/user</code> and <code>/boss</code>. Therefore one mount can't access the other virtual directory, and also can't access <code>/icon</code>.(The title's SpotPass extdata can be mounted by the title itself, if it uses SpotPass)
Other optional but notable directories include:
* <code>/user/ExBanner</code> This virtual directory can optionally store extended banners. When this is available, this banner is displayed instead of the CXI ExeFS banner. <code>COMMON.bin</code> stores the common exbanner, while <code><regionlang_code>.bin</code> stores an optional separate region/language specific banner.(regionlang_code can be "JPN_JP", "USA_EN", etc)
== SD Extdata ==
Usually the ExtdataID low is in the format '00<Unique ID>'
