IO
Custom registers.
| Address | Size | Description | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0xA4300010 | 4 | ||
| 0xA4300014 | 4? | Reading from this address within game code causes an exception; SK exception handler checks this address as well, and makes some decisions based on the value: bits 7-4 = ?, bit 3 = ?, bit 2 = SKC, the other bits seem unused. bit 9 = execute related? (isBb?), bit 8 = execute related? | |
| 0xA430002C | 1 | MI_RANDOM_BIT | Hardware RNG? Seems to return 1 bit of randomness, SK function at 0x9FC03410 gets lots of entropy from this then hashes it with SHA1 (several times?), this function is used to get randomness used when ECC signing, and when creating key material for recrypt.sys. |
| 0xA4300030 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4300038 | 4? | ||
| 0xA430003C | 4? | ||
| 0xA4400000 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4500008 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600010 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600014 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600018 | 4? | ||
| 0xA460001C | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600020 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600024 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600028 | 4? | ||
| 0xA460002C | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600030 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600040 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600044 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600048 | 4? | Writes to this address seem to indicate the address to read data into RAM from the NAND | |
| 0xA4600050 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600054 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4600060 | 4 | StatusField | This register is used for RTC, error led and other things... (probably status register?, made-up name) |
| 0xA4600070 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4610000 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4610200 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4610420 | 176 | PI_AES_EXPANDED_KEY | AES-128 expanded key for hardware AES engine |
| 0xA46104D0 | 16 | PI_AES_IV | AES-128-CBC initialisation vector for hardware AES engine |
| 0xA4610500 | 4 | ||
| 0xA4610504 | 4? | atb? (virtual address?) | |
| 0xA46E0400 | 4? or 2? | rdb? | |
| 0xA4940010 | 4? | ||
| 0xA4A40010 | 4? |
StatusField
| Bit(s) | Description |
|---|---|
| ?-15 | Box Id |
| 27 | Power (on and off) |
| 28 | RTC related? |
| 29 | Unknown bit |
| 30 | Error led |
| 31 | Power (only on) |
RTC
The iQue Player has a custom RTC functionality. The Nintendo 64 doesn't have a RTC, except the Nintendo 64 version of Animal Crossing which uses a special custom RTC chip instead of a built-in RTC. The RTC functionality is heavly used in the game Animal Crossing. The RTC can be accessed through 0xA4600060. (unknown how)
