GetStateOld

No input, returns an output u32.

IsNfcEnabledOld

No input, returns an output bool.

This runs the same code as #IsNfcEnabled.

GetState

No input, returns an output u32.

This replaces #GetStateOld.

IsNfcEnabled

No input, returns an output bool.

This replaces #IsNfcEnabledOld.

StartDetection

Takes an input #DeviceHandle and a #NfcProtocol, no output.

StopDetection

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, no output.

ReadMifare

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a type-0x6 output buffer containing an array of #MifareReadBlockData, a type-0x5 input buffer containing an array of #MifareReadBlockParameter, no output.

sdknso passes the same user-specified array-count for both buffers.

WriteMifare

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a type-0x5 input buffer containing an array of #MifareWriteBlockParameter, no output.

SendCommandByPassThrough

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a nn::TimeSpan timeout, a type-0x6 output buffer, a type-0x5 input buffer, returns an output u32 out_size.

sdknso copies the output u32 into an u64. This is the actual size which was copied into the output buffer.

This allows using a raw NFC command. The input buffer contains the command data (id + params), and the output buffer contains the response.

KeepPassThroughSession

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, no output.

ReleasePassThroughSession

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, no output.

GetAll

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a type-0x1A output buffer containing #NfpData, no output.

SetAll

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a type-0x19 input buffer containing #NfpData, no output.

FlushDebug

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, no output.

BreakTag

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, an input u32 #BreakType, no output.

ReadBackupData

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a type-0x6 output buffer, and an output u32 (read_size).

WriteBackupData

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, a type-0x5 input buffer, no output.

The buffer size must be less or equal than 0x1FBD20.

WriteNtf

Takes an input #DeviceHandle, an input u32 #WriteType, a type-0x5 input buffer, no output.

The input buffer size must match 0x2A0. This handles Amiibo crypto, etc.

Common

Create*Interface

Returns an output interface (#IUser, #ISystem or #IDebug depending on the service).

Initialize*

Takes a PID, an AppletResourceUserId, an u64 placeholder for the PID, a type-0x5 input buffer containing an array of #RequiredMcuVersionData, no output.

Internally this is mostly the same for each service, this differs depending on the service/cmd however.

Finalize*

No input/output.

Internally this is mostly the same for each service, this differs depending on the service/cmd however.

ListDevices

Takes a type-0xA output buffer containing an array of #DeviceHandle, returns an output s32 total_out.

This can return a maximum of 0xA entries.
