Homebrew RELEASE NX Activity Log - View (slightly) more detailed play statistics!

I haven't added that functionality in just yet

I'd been meaning to write that comment for a while so I've since forgotten.. but I thought I saw offset functionality in the source!

There might be a few odd lines here and there (config.ini also may be created with a blank offset section) - but nothing complete just yet

It's time for another update! This one adds some graphs and a date selector so you don't have to spam L/R anymore
There's plenty more included so please check the changelog and readme on github!

thanks you!

Hi tallBl0nde, what happens if I wind my clock back? Will the days where the Switch already wrote hours be overwritten? Usually, I don't mind the clock but with Animal Crossing I want to return my clock to the correct date and time.

Hi tallBl0nde, what happens if I wind my clock back? Will the days where the Switch already wrote hours be overwritten? Usually, I don't mind the clock but with Animal Crossing I want to return my clock to the correct date and time.

I have no idea how it will calculate the playtime! That said, I can assure you that it won't overwrite your previous logged times. So...

I'm guessing if for example you played from 12pm to 1pm on the 20th of March and then when it's actually the 22nd you changed the clock back to the 20th at 12pm and then played until 1pm you'd now have two sessions for the same period of time meaning that while your "all time" activity would be correct, if you looked at "recent" activity my app may show 120 minutes played within an hour which obviously makes no sense.

I'd recommend backing up your eMMC and then messing around with the time if you really care about your stats in case something bad happens, however on Nintendo's side of things I'm sure they've accounted for this. I haven't in my app though.

Why should I back up my eMMC? Any chance reverting the clock would brick the Switch?

No chance of a brick, but your play log is stored on the switch so if you want your play stats to stay 'correct' this way you can restore in case something weird happens with it.

Time Travling does this to your stats:

Spoiler: im sad that they dont extend all way

but yeah prolly an easy fix, something like if 60, write 60+ or just stop at 60 or increase the graph if >60, there are many ways to tackle this problem.

and if you save and reload a save you obviously destroy your launch and average play time

Yeah that's kinda what I expected to happen, I'll get it to cap for the next update but yeah time travelling would essentially mess up all your stats except for total play time

Here's version 1.2.1, fixing the graph going off screen and adding some more options to configure how the app looks and behaves! Enjoy

Hi tallbl0nde, very nice work you have done here!
I was wondering (maybe it's stupid), would it be possible to have something similar, but as a payload?
I kept one of my switch completely official, but I wouldn't mind having a payload to get a real activity log, maybe registered in a notepad file.

Anyway, keep up with the good work

Hmm... it would just require access to the eMMC which as we know is possible with other payloads so I'd say yes! I'm not sure if you could separate it on a per-user basis though. I won't look into making a payload but I believe it would be possible!

OK thanks at least for giving me hope

Hi, when I start the app with recent activity by month, it shows nothing in this current month, I then have to sort it daily and then monthly again to get it to Show the current month.

And do you plan to translate the app to german? I could maybe help with that. The experience would be so much more consistent. It would also be cool to not choose a User, If you only have 1, If thats possible.

Edith: OK, I dont have to choose a user If I use replace User page. But when I replace User page and start the app through the User page it would be nice to Close the app with B on the Main page.

Looks like I shouldn't have worked on this at 11pm - anyway I've fixed it, could you check it works properly for you as well?

I would love to add multiple languages to the app, I don't know when I'll get around to it though. I've had someone else offer to translate to German already so if I can't get in contact with them I'll let you know.

I'd also like to be able to close the User Page but I don't know how to do so, when I had that enabled it just relaunches the app. You can see what I mean by pressing + on hbmenu. I'm sure it would be possible - I just don't know how to do it!

EDIT: Nvm I've just found it's not completely fixed, I'll post again once it's actually fixed

 

[1basti1]

Hehe, OK thanks. Looking Forward to the fixes.

 

[tallbl0nde]

@1basti1 (or anyone else) could you check that it's working properly now? I think I've fixed the problem

 

[1basti1]

Hi, just tried it and works. Thank you. Now I only need it in German.

Glad to hear! Hopefully I'll have it added soon™

I don't see any issue, so I assume it's fixed?
