Memory mapped registers available on the iQue Player.

MI

Address Size Description Note
0xA4300000 4 MI_INIT_MODE_REG/MI_MODE_REG
0xA4300004 4 MI_VERSION_REG/MI_NOOP_REG
0xA4300008 4 MI_INTR_REG
0xA430000C 4 MI_INTR_MASK_REG
0xA4300010 4
0xA4300014 4 MI_SK_EXCEPTION_REG Reading from this address within non-secure mode causes an exception; SK exception handler checks this address as well, and makes some decisions based on the value: bits 7-4 = ?, bit 3 = Watchdog Timer timeout, bit 2 = SKC.
0xA4300018 4 MI_SK_WATCHDOG_TIMER Set to 0x7530c800 by SK to start or reset the timer. The bottom 16 bits appear to be the number of timer ticks to wait before an interrupt is fired, and bit 3 of MI_SK_EXCEPTION_REG is set. When reading from this register while the timer is ticking, the top 16 bits appear to be the remaining number of ticks until the interrupt fires. This is mainly used by SK to deal with trial/demo games. The timer is reset by SK when skKeepAlive is called. Depending on the trial type (timed vs number of launches), this timer is either used to detect a game crash or other event which would cause skKeepAlive calls to stop being made, or for timed trials, to keep track of the remaining time on the trial. One tick appears to happen every 1.220703 milliseconds with the configuration SK sets. Other tick rates and behaviors maybe be configurable, but it is unknown at this time if that is the case.
0xA4300028 4
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 MI_HW_INTR_REG Hardware interrupts (0x40 = NAND DMA, 0x80 = AES, 0x100 = RDB, 0x200 = PI_ERR, 0x400 = USB0, 0x800 = USB1, 0x1000 = ??, 0x2000 = MD). Bottom bits appear to mirror MI_INTR_REG.
0xA430003C 4 MI_HW_INTR_MASK_REG Hardware interrupt mask.

VI

Address Size Description Note
0xA4400000 4 VI_STATUS_REG/VI_CONTROL_REG If bit 13 is set (normally documented as unused/reserved), the console will display corrupted graphics. N64 games usually (always?) have this bit set, which is the cause of corrupted graphics seen when vanilla N64 games are played on an iQue Player.
