IDStorage is located after the IPL on the nand at 0xC0000. | |||

Idstorage | Idstorage keys are 512 (+16) bytes and are stored in an index of two nand pages (512 bytes.) Nand pages are also 515 (+16 spare area) bytes. The index of idstorage is identified by byte 6 of the spare (0x73), byte 7 is the idstorage version, byte is either 1 or 0; depending on whether the idstorage has been formatted or not (???), and finally byte 9 indicates if the idstorage is read-only or not. | ||
Idstorage | Idstorage keys are 16 bit integers and are stored in the corresponding user areas. For example, a key appearing at position 27 (byte 54) in the index would find its associated data at the location:0xc0000 + (27 * 512) = 0xC3600 | ||
= Importance to PSP Functions = | |||
As major functions such as UMD Decryption, Ad Hoc and DNAS Authentication rely on IDStorage keys, the loss or corruption of keys can be crippling to the usability of the PSP. Users are strongly recommended to take a [[NAND Backup]], giving them the opportunity to restore their IDStorage using a tool such as [[NandTool]]. | |||
