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

[1basti1]

A Tesla overlay would be cool, to see how long the Playsession already is.

A Tesla overlay would be cool, to see how long the Playsession already is.

That's actually a great idea, however I'm pretty sure the play log only gets updated when a game is closed, so I couldn't actually show the current session's time. I'll have to look into it more, but that's definitely something I'd do if it's possible

Can you give us a hint about what it is??

Sure! This screenshot should give a little hint (and yes the music keeps playing in-game)

does this retroactively track the stats I had before having this app? Or only since it's usage?

 

[godreborn]

I really wish that the normal activity log was this detailed.

Try it?
But yes, retroactively.

Any updates on adding forwader compatibility for custom games?

I've been busy working on other things and I have kind of lost interest in working on NX-Activity-Log for the moment (plus Cyberpunk 2077 is going to keep me away from coding for a while ). I still need to look into the overall situation again to see if it's still viable, but I don't intend on completely giving up working on this anytime soon.

Hi, is there any way to dump all the activity log and restore to another emunand?

Nope, dumping will be supported (who knows how long it'll be until I get around to it) but due to the complexity of the log I don't intend to add proper restore capabilities. Instead I'll only support backup/restore within the application, so it won't effect the system's data.

I’m glad I finally stumbled across this amazing utility. It’s very cool seeing all my play stats.

 

[RedHunter]

This is a very cool app but sadly it's useless if you backup and then restore saves, it starts from scratch everytime.

Does this work on 11.0.1 or has it not been updated yet? I looked around online but couldnt find a definitive answer. Also, it still tracks play activity while the switch is in airplane mode, correct?

 

[1basti1]

Yes it works.
And yes it tracks while in airplane mode.

It's most likely not in the scope of this project but it would be amazing if this app could gather and fuse/synchronize the activities above all NANDs:
sysNAND + multiple emuNANDs. Of course the synced data should only be applied to the place the homebrew is currently run (so it won't alter the sysNAND activity log, just put the data from there into the emuNAND's playlog too).

If only this were Spotify.

Yeah homebrew can't write to the activity log while the switch is running afaik. One implementation of this could use backup/restore like functionality though to import other NANDs activity.

Thx for the reply.

And this would work on a homebrew level or would this have to be a payload / hekate feature?

i'm searching for this thing! thx!
by the way, i'm too new to homebrew thing to know how to use it.
i was able to download from github.
next, i should put folder named application on SD card, right?

Any homebrew has to be in *.NRO format and comes either alone or with a few other files bundled with it.
For homebrew to appear in the hbmenu you simple put them somewhere inside the sd:/switch/ directory.
By somewhere I mean, you could just throw all NROs directly into it but I'd highly recommend organizing them in subfolders instead. They will still be detected and listed by the hbmenu automatically.
Something like this:
sd:/switch/goldleaf/goldleaf.nro
sd:/switch/nx-activity-log/nx-activity-log.nro
and so on

(You can however navigate from within the hbmenu to other folders outside the switch directory to manually launch homebrews from there if ever needed.)

Hello, is it working on FW 12.0.2 ?
