The Extended Banner format is very simple. The Extended Banner is used to add text (and optionally an extra texture) to a given banner. It can also (optionally) be used to set an expiration date for a banner.

See [[Extdata|here]] for how the extended-banners are loaded from extdata. The Home Menu extended-banner loading function will immediately return without loading anything if the programID is for System Settings.
When Home Menu loads extended-banners, it also attempts to load a [[CBMD]] banner via [[BOSS_Services|SpotPass]] service commands. Normally this CBMD banner doesn't exist in extended-banner extdata. This is [[BOSS_Services|broken]] with New3DS titles since Home Menu uses these BOSS commands with the New3DS bitmask in the programID set.
