Applet Manager services

From Nintendo Switch Brew
Jump to navigation Jump to search

AM (Applet Manager) provides services for interacting with system applets while abstracting several aspects of power and operation management.

Contains multiple raw images, with at least the following: "NN_OMM_CHARGING_BIN_{begin|end}"(charging icon), low-battery icon, and the Nintendo Switch logo displayed during system boot.

appletAE

This is "nn::am::service::IAllSystemAppletProxiesService".

Cmd Name Notes
100 OpenSystemAppletProxy Returns an #ISystemAppletProxy.
200 OpenLibraryAppletProxyOld ([1.0.0-2.3.0] OpenLibraryAppletProxy) Returns an #ILibraryAppletProxy.
201 [3.0.0+] #OpenLibraryAppletProxy Returns an #ILibraryAppletProxy.
300 OpenOverlayAppletProxy Returns an #IOverlayAppletProxy.
350 OpenSystemApplicationProxy Returns an #IApplicationProxy.
400 CreateSelfLibraryAppletCreatorForDevelop Returns an #ILibraryAppletCreator.
410 [6.0.0+] GetSystemAppletControllerForDebug Returns an #ISystemAppletControllerForDebug.
1000 [6.0.0+] GetDebugFunctions Returns an #IDebugFunctions.

All of these commands except #OpenLibraryAppletProxy take the same input as #OpenApplicationProxy, with the same user-process retry-loop as #OpenApplicationProxy. These Open*Proxy commands (including appletOE) doesn't seem to usable from processes which aren't actual applets (such as sysmodules), at least for applet-types which aren't already in use.

This service is used by all system non-regular-applications.

The 01000000000010XX system titles use the following applet types(above Open{type}Proxy commands):

  • "qlaunch": SystemApplet
  • "overlay": OverlayApplet
  • "starter": SystemApplication
  • "maintenance": SystemApplet
  • All others: LibraryApplet

OpenLibraryAppletProxy

Returns an #ILibraryAppletProxy.

Takes a reserved input u64(official user-processes use hard-coded value 0), a PID,a process copy-handle(cur-proc handle alias), and an 0x80-byte type-0x15 input buffer AppletAttribute.

Official user-processes use the same retry loop with this as the other Open*Proxy commands.

The BOTW game uses this GamePlayRecording functionality from the main-nso "nninitStartup" function, with size 0x6000000(96MiB). The official GamePlayRecording-enable code does the following(this will panic on any failure):

This GamePlayRecording functionality presumably enables the video-recording usable starting with 4.0.0.

Officially notification messages are handled by the application itself, not sdk-nso in ExeFS. Official apps call code in sdk-nso which basically uses svcWaitSynchronization with the event from #GetEventHandle to check whether a message is available, then if so it uses #ReceiveMessage. The actual handling for message IDs is done in the app itself(see #NotificationMessage).

GetEventHandle

No input. Returns an output event handle. This is signalled when a message is available with #ReceiveMessage.

ReceiveMessage

No input. Returns an output u32. Error 0x680 indicates no message is available.

GetOperationMode

No input. Returns an output u8 for the current #OperationMode.

GetPerformanceMode

No input. Returns an output u32 for the current PerformanceMode.

GetCradleStatus

No input, returns an output u8.

GetBootMode

No input, returns an output u8.

GetCurrentFocusState

No input. Returns an output u8:

  • 1: In focus.
  • 2/3: Out of focus(running in "background").

GetAcquiredSleepLockEvent

No input, returns an output handle.

PushToGeneralChannel

Takes an input #IStorage, no output.

GetHomeButtonReaderLockAccessor

No input, returns an output #ILockAccessor.

GetReaderLockAccessorEx

Takes an input u32, returns an output #ILockAccessor.

IsVrModeEnabled

No input, returns an output u8 bool.

SetVrModeEnabled

Takes an input u8 bool flag. No output.

Updates internal AM state fields. If the new state doesn't match the previous state, this uses the Backlight_services {Disable/Enable}VrMode command depending on whether flag={disable/enable}.

When the VrMode is set to true, the console shows a screen rendered like vr asking the user to move his face away and hit the 'close' button. When this button is pressed, the console resets the vrMode to false.

IsInControllerFirmwareUpdateSection

No input, returns an output u8 bool.

GetDefaultDisplayResolutionChangeEvent

No input, returns an output handle.

Library Applets

This section documents library applet launching.

Before starting the applet, #IStorages are created and written, then passed to #ILibraryAppletAccessor PushInData. The #IStorage session is closed afterwards. The first #IStorage is #CommonArguments, followed by any applet-specific #IStorages.

Once the applet finishes running successfully, #ILibraryAppletAccessor PopOutData can be used to get the applet-specific #IStorage containing the applet output data.

CommonArguments

The first IStorage passed to applets should contain the common library applet arguments. This is populated by nn::la::CommonArgumentsWriter and has the following format.

This struct is 0x20-bytes.

Offset Size Typical Value Notes
0x0 4 1 Common Arguments version
0x4 4 0x20 Common Arguments size
0x8 4 Library applet version (API version)
0xC 4 0 Theme color
0x10 1 0 Play startup sound
0x18 8 N/A System tick (see svcGetSystemTick)
