Error Codes

From WiiUBrew
Jump to navigation Jump to search

When an error occurs that requires the user to be notified, erreula.rpl or error.rpx will display a pop-up or fatal error notification respectively of an error code in the format 'XXX-XXXX", with the first 3 digits representing the error module and the last 4 discriminating the exact issue. Error codes are generated on either an in-module or in-application basis. Some apps require their own error handling to be implemented by a developer, such as PIA or NEX. Error codes can also be produced by an individual library, which usually contain functions that an application can call upon to retrieve an error code from a result, which is then relayed onto erreula. Other error code modules, such as AC, are generated on a per-system-app basis. For example, connection test errors are only returned by System Settings and will only occur there. Fatal system errors occur when a serious unrecoverable fault happens, the console will display a black screen with the prefix "160" and require a shutdown to retry. These can be triggered by calling OSSendFatalError in coreinit.rpl with the error code specified.

The appearance and functioning of an error pop-up are determined based on the error code. Pop-ups may have an OK/Cancel button or an option to jump to a certain app for instance. Most error codes have specified text that will appear as stated by entries in the MsgScene MSBT files (some apps have their own error text in their contents). These usually come with an attribute that state whether the error code will be displayed or just the message—lot of regular pop-ups are actually errors set to not show the error code. Many error codes also share message text.

Support Information

Support information appears as the following:
(1) System Version
(2) Model Number
(3) Serial Number
(4) Console Status Code

Console Status Code

The console status code is a 12-digit code in sections of 4 digits generated based on the current conditions of the console. In order:

  • The first 3 digits of the current application's product code, followed by a 1-digit representation of the title's major version (the title version rightshifted by 4, then matched to the corresponding index of the characters "0123456789ABCEGHJKLMRUVWY". For example, HASP is the product code for the Wii U Menu. The latest European version is v257. Rightshifted by 4, that becomes 16. The 16th character of that array is J, so the first four digits of the status code are "HASJ".
  • Digit five shows whether the console has been repaired or is a system transfer from another console. If the console has been repaired by Nintendo, 2 is added. If the console is the recipient of a system transfer, 1 is added.
  • Digit six represents the launch state. This can be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 7.
  • Digit seven represents the device type and if a USB storage device is connected. If a storage device is connected, 4 is added. For the device type, 0 is added for Disc, 1 for NAND and 2 for USB.
  • Digit eight represents if parental controls are enabled, if RCA output is enabled, or if the USB keep-alive function is enabled. 1 is added for each respective option when true.
  • For digit nine, if BOSS storage exists for the current user, 4 is added. If a Network ID is linked to the current user, 2 is added. If the console is currently connected to the internet, 1 is added.
  • Digit ten represents the current internet connection type, and if the DNS and IP are set to auto-obtain. If the connection type is ethernet (wired), 4 is added. If DNS is set to auto-obtain, 2 is added. If IP is set to auto-obtain, 1 is added.
  • Digit eleven represents the video output port and the screen aspect ratio. If the aspect ratio is 16:9, 4 is added. If the port type is HDMI, 3 is added.
  • Digit twelve represents the current video output resolution.
Resolution Number Added
480i 0
480p 1
576i 2
720p 3
1080i 4
1080p 5

If some of these values cannot be obtained, "X" is displayed in its place.

Main article: nn_temp.rpl

HAI 167-XXXX

These errors can occur upon booting an enhanced vWii title. The library nn_hai.rpl performs a number of checks. Most failures in these checks result in a fatal system error or error for another module, however there are two regular errors specific to enhanced vWii launch.

NFP (Nintendo Figurine Platform - amiibo) 168-XXXX

System Messages 199-XXXX

199-XXXX errors typically don't show their error code and instead are just system messages, most not even being an error but instead perfectly normal system behaviour. It was likely done this way to make it easier for apps and developers to display messages from programs.
