Applet Manager services
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.

This is "nn::am::service::IAllSystemAppletProxiesService".
Cmd | Name | Notes |
---|---|---|
100 | OpenSystemAppletProxy | Returns an #ISystemAppletProxy. |
200 | OpenLibraryAppletProxy ( [3.0.0+] OpenLibraryAppletProxyOld) | 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. |
All of these commands except #OpenLibraryAppletProxy take the same input as #OpenApplicationProxy, with the same user-process retry-loop as #OpenApplicationProxy.
This service seems to be used by all system non-regular-applications.
OpenLibraryAppletProxy
Returns an #IApplicationProxy.
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):
- Creates TransferMemory using the input buffer and size, with permissions=0.
- Uses #InitializeGamePlayRecording with the TransferMemory.
- Closes the TransferMemory handle, + TransferMemory cleanup.
- Uses #SetGamePlayRecordingState with value 0x1.
This GamePlayRecording functionality presumably enables the video-recording usable starting with 4.0.0.
NotifyRunning
Takes no input. Returns an output u8, which is ignored by official user-processes.
InitializeGamePlayRecording
Takes a TransferMemory handle and an u64 for the size of the TransferMemory.
SetGamePlayRecordingState
Takes an input u32.

OpenApplicationProxy
Returns an #IApplicationProxy. See #appletAE.
Takes a reserved input u64(official user-processes use hard-coded value 0), a PID, and a process copy-handle(cur-proc handle alias).
On failure, official user-processes will retry using this command in a loop while the retval is 0x19280, with svcSleepThread(10000000) being called first.

Operation Mode Manager (OMM) is a service responsible for arbitrating the operation changes between docked and handheld modes. Besides PTM_services, this is the only service that interacts with the Dock through usb:pd*.
