Active ratings have a bitmask of 0x80, and inactive ratings have no bitmask at all. Ratings without the 0x80 bitmask are ignored.
+
Active ratings have a bitmask of 0x80, and inactive ratings have no bitmask at all. Ratings without the 0x80 bitmask are ignored. 0x40 bitmask indicates Rating Pending. 0x20 bitmask indicates No Age Restriction.
 +
Age limits are set by adding the minimal age to 0x80 (for example, limiting to 12 years and up would give a bitmask of 0x8C)

This flag is what the Home Menu uses in order to determine the [[Home Menu#Region Lockout|Region Lockout]] of a title. These are bitmask flags. Byte[0] is currently the only byte used, the rest are reserved.
+
This u32 flag is what the Home Menu uses to determine the [[Home Menu#Region Lockout|Region Lockout]] of a title.

As these are bitmask flags, multiple regions can be 'allowed' access to a title if Nintendo chose. A "Region Free" title would have each byte = 0xff. (For reference, the Nintendo's implementation of "region free", has bytes[0-2] = 0xff, and byte[3] = 0x7f)
+
Regions are 'included' in region lock by setting their bitmask value. Nintendo defines region free as 0x7fffffff. Early in the 3DS' development, Nintendo grouped the Australian and Europe markets together. Nintendo defines market Europe as having the combined bitmasks of Europe and Australia. No 3DS' which check the Australia bitmask have been seen (Australia uses the European 3DS model).

====Effect of SaveData and AutoSave====
 +

These options have no effect on the performance of the application itself: they're used to select an appropriate warning when closing an application from [[Home Menu|Home]].
 +
 +
* Both off: "Closing software" (no warning if quitting directly with X)
 +
* SaveData: "Do you want to close [...]? (Unsaved data will be lost.)"
 +
* AutoSave: ?
 +
* Both on:  "Saving data and closing software..." (no warning if quitting directly with X)

=== 'Optimal Animation Default Frame' (for BNR) ===
   −
Purpose of this flag: If using an animated BNR, it's the most representative frame for the animation.
+
This is a float, indicating the preferred (or 'most representative') frame for the banner animation.
 
  −
This value is generated by taking an input value(default BNR frame) as a float, then representing it a hexadecimal array.

This does not necessarily mean the other encodings will be used, it is just that those are the options when compiling. Like we've seen with Super Mario 3D Land Nintendo has changed save file encryption, and likewise they can encode icons and banners differently ''should they choose to''. Currently we've seen just RGB565 so don't be fooled if an icon doesn't show up right! It is probably one of these formats above. Although we will probably not see other formats used for a while it's nice to know they have an opportunity to change.

Although we will probably not see other formats used for a while it's nice to know they have an opportunity to change. Also note that it seems Nintendo stores each pixel in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGBA_color_space word-order], so the actual order of order of each color channel in memory will depend on the endianness.

There's a header of 0x40 bytes and then comes the raw data.
      
The data is encoded in tiles (starting from size 8x8, continuing recursively).
