GetStateOld

No input, returns an output u32.

IsNfcEnabledOld

No input, returns an output bool.

This runs the same code as #IsNfcEnabled.

GetState

No input, returns an output u32.

This replaces #GetStateOld.

IsNfcEnabled

No input, returns an output bool.

This replaces #IsNfcEnabledOld.

SetNfcEnabledOld

Takes an input bool, no output.

This runs the same code as #SetNfcEnabled.

SetNfcEnabled

Takes an input bool, no output.

This replaces #SetNfcEnabledOld.

OutputTestWave

Takes an input bool and a #TestWaveType, no output.

ReadMifare

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a type-0x6 output buffer containing an array of #MifareReadBlockData, a type-0x5 input buffer containing an array of #MifareReadBlockParameter, no output.

sdknso passes the same user-specified array-count for both buffers.

WriteMifare

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a type-0x5 input buffer containing an array of #MifareWriteBlockParameter, no output.

SendCommandByPassThrough

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a nn::TimeSpan timeout, a type-0x6 output buffer, a type-0x5 input buffer, returns an output u32 out_size.

sdknso copies the output u32 into an u64. This is the actual size which was copied into the output buffer.

This allows using a raw NFC command. The input buffer contains the command data (id + params), and the output buffer contains the response.

KeepPassThroughSession

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, no output.

ReleasePassThroughSession

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, no output.

Initialize

Takes a PID, an AppletResourceUserId, an u64, a type-0x5 input buffer containing an array of #RequiredMcuVersionData, no output.

sdknso passes value 0 for the u64.

Internally this is mostly the same for each service, this differs depending on the service/cmd however.

Finalize

No input/output.

Internally this is mostly the same for each service, this differs depending on the service/cmd however.

ListDevices

Takes a type-0xA output buffer containing an array of #DeviceHandle, returns an output s32 total_out.

This can return a maximum of 0xA entries.

GetDeviceState

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, returns an output u32.

The returned u32 is loaded from a lookup table. nfp services uses the same table, mifare uses a separate one, and the nfc services use another separate table.

GetNpadId

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, returns an output u32 NpadId.

WriteNtf

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, an u32, a type-0x5 input buffer, no output.

The input buffer size must match 0x2A0.

This handles Amiibo crypto etc.
