Homebrew [Idea] Notification(news:s service) logging

[shutterbug2000]

I had this interesting idea as I was looking through some of the *hax 2.5 stuff. I noticed in the list of the services *hax 2.5 has access to that news:s can now be accessed. So, I decided to create a little bit of code to test and see if we could add notifications to the 3DS. It worked, and then I got the idea that programs could use this to log crashes and other debug info that a user could submit as a bug report(of course, only if the program is able to detect the crash before it happens). This would make it unnecessary for log files to be made, as this is easier(I think anyway).

So, for those interested, I made a .3dsx to do this(attached)

Try it and let me know what you think!

You know what'd be cool?
A little thing that, integrated into the Homebrew Launcher, would add notifications if there are updates to homebrew apps or if there is any important homebrew news.

A guy can dream, I guess. :T

Probably wouldn't be too hard... With the homebrew downloading apps you could probably do a small mod to the hbl that checked the MD5 hash of the files you had against a server somewhere and wrote to the notification center...

Now find a way to delete notifications from the system and I will be impressed.

I get some japanese text and ? mark blocks xD

I get some japanese text and ? mark blocks xD

Me too, and while in the homebrew an infinite number of characters keeps generating... Also no blue light.

Yeah, seems that nintendo doesn't use ascii for the notifications. Trying to convert it

It uses UTF-16. There's a news:u function for adding notifications in ctrulib, which should be fairly similar to the function in news:s. ctrulib also has functions for converting between UTF-8/UTF-16/UTF-32.

Hello!
I am actually working on an app updater for THL and this feature would be cool!
Also, I am making an SMDH for this:

.
If I can help, just PM me!

Could you upload the source for this or link me to the source if there is one already?

 

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

Sorry for bumping again but does anyone know where the source code is for this if there is one?

 

[Angelcraft]

It works but... what can i do with that?

 

[SomeGamer]

Awesome! Could you make one where I can insert custom notifications?

 

[Angelcraft]

Mmhh... i test all projects if u could pass me it xd

The source code for this would be awesome!

I have a question, though. Does this mean we can customize a notification's text and contents?

 

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

I can think of all the trolls already. MWA HA HA!!!!

Are we able to inject StreetPass notifications as well? I would love a LED controller based on this! Or an alarm app which would use the LED! The possibilities are endless!

You could even make fake notifications from Nintendo to trick your friends

Lua code:
System.addNotification("Congrats!","You installed lpp-3ds successfully!")
