-    note: "Used for DSiWare run without a NAND. Absent, DSperate's own font table is generated. ROCKNIX's ini leaves the key unset. A file under 256 bytes is refused. No hash is checked, only the layout bytes 0x84 and 0x86, and a table whose layout differs from the title's region draws a warning. This is the normal layout (0x84 = 3, 0x86 = 0), read from nand:/sys/TWLFontTable.dat of a retail DSi NAND dump. The FAT16 partition is AES-CTR encrypted with the normal key ROL128((KeyX XOR KeyY) + 0xFFFEFB4E295902582A680F5F1A4F3E79, 42), where KeyX is built from the console ID in the nocash footer and KeyY is 0x0AB9DC76 0xBD4DC4D3 0x202DDD1D 0xE1A00005. The counter is the first 16 bytes of SHA-1 of the footer's eMMC CID, and each 16-byte block is byte-reversed before and after AES. The USA, Europe, Japan and Australia consoles, four different console IDs, give the same bytes."
