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

ErrorContext

This is "nn::err::ErrorContext". This is a 0x200-byte struct.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x1 Type
0x1 0x7 Padding
0x8 0x1F4 Data
