=== Common ===
For all of the following structures, the first two bytes are common and identify mode.
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
! Offset || Size || Typical Value || Notes
|-
| 0x0 || 1 || 0 || Error Applet Mode
|-
| 0x1 || 1 || 1 || Whether or not to use 'jump' mode
|}
In SDK, the jump mode byte is always one, except for nn::err::ShowErrorWithoutJump. HW-Testing has shown this to have no visual impact on error applet.


=== Error (common one) ===

Takes a CommonArgs storage with version 0.

Apparently similar to SystemError, has type (byte 0 of the second storage) 258, with almost same offsets.
Allows an application to show a custom-defined error text.
Uses a mode byte of 2 in the above struct.
 
The SDK uses size 4116 (0x1014) for this storage.
 
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
! Offset || Size || Typical Value || Notes
|-
| 0x8 || 4 (u32) || 0 (0000-0000) || ErrorCode of the error to use.
|-
| 0xC || 8 (u64) || 'en-US\0' || The Language of the following text. This uses the same language names as settings service.
|-
| 0x14 || 0x800 || - || String of the text to be shown as a short description of the error.
|-
| 0x814 || 0x800 || - || String of the text to be shown as a more detailed description of the error.
|}
 
On hardware, the short description will be displayed initially in a dialog box with the error code. There is a details button that when clicked will display the detailed description.
 
=== ShowErrorRecord (ShowError with Timestamp) ===
 
Uses common arguments version 0 and a mode byte of 5.
 
Performs the same function as ShowError, but also displays the date and time of error.
 
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
! Offset || Size || Typical Value || Notes
|-
| 0x8 || 8 (u64) || 0 (0000-0000) || Result code to use. This is formatted with the first u32 = description and second u32 = module + 2000.
|-
| 0x10 || 8 (u64) || 0 (Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 AM) || POSIX time of the error to be displayed (as seconds since epoch).
|}


More info needs to be added about this type.
Unlike ShowError, this is fullscreen and not a dialog.
