Extended Banner: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

See [[Extdata|here]] for how the extended-banners are loaded from extdata. The Home Menu extended-banner loading function will immediately return without loading anything if the programID is for System Settings.

When Home Menu loads extended-banners, it also attempts to load a [[CBMD]] banner via [[BOSS_Services|SpotPass]] service commands. Normally this CBMD banner doesn't exist in extended-banner extdata. This is [[BOSS_Services|broken]] with New3DS titles since Home Menu uses these BOSS commands with the New3DS bitmask in the programID set.

=== SpotPass ===

When Home Menu loads extended-banners, it also attempts to load a "[[CBMD]]" banner via [[BOSS_Services|SpotPass]] service commands. Normally this CBMD banner doesn't exist in extended-banner extdata. This is [[BOSS_Services|broken]] with New3DS titles since Home Menu uses these BOSS commands with the New3DS bitmask in the programID set. The common and language-specific(when offset is non-zero) "CGFX" specified by the CBMD are decompressed and processed.

The "CGFX" sections in this CBMD are actually the exact same exbanners loaded from normal extdata. The exbanner data from SpotPass is stored to the same state as the extdata-exbanners. The exbanners from SpotPass must have a timestamp less than current_datetime, otherwise they won't be parsed. No CWAV is loaded from SpotPass data.
