This is the applet presented when a title displays an error message. See AM_services#Library_Applets.

All errors displayed by this applet get logged and can be viewed under 'Settings' > 'Support' > 'Error History'.

On pre-5.0.0 the specified LanguageCode has to be valid, otherwise a fatal-error is thrown. With [5.0.0+] it will use en-US when the LanguageCode is invalid.

Usage

User-processes should push a common arguments struct (version=0) as well as the Arg struct. Once the applet finishes running successfully, it may return an output storage in some cases. An u8 status value is located at +1, where non-zero indicates error.
