This is the system "flog" 01008BB00013C000 title. This is a NES emulator. Installed on retail systems since 1.0.0.

The titleID for "flog" is used by 3 funcs in qlaunch: 1 for checking whether to launch it, 1 for launching(?), and 1 that compares flog titleID with a field.

The ROM is not loaded via FS but is embedded in the main binary.

"flog" == "golf" backwards. This runs the NES "Golf" game. {1/2}-player via joy-con is supported. Controls are "d-pad" buttons + stick, however motion control while holding the Z{L/R} button is also supported instead of using buttons.

Official Launch

The checks for this only run while Home Menu is active, aka main-menu.

It checks exactly the following:

  • Both Joy-Cons must be detached from the system.
  • The same motion checks for both Joy-Cons must pass, at the same time.
  • The date is checked.
  • The output from a certain function must return 0..2. On one system this was tested with, this check would pass.
  • Lastly a nsam cmd is used. Probably to verify that the title is installed?

Once everything passes it continues to the code which launches(?) flog.
