Approach Contexts
#
The approach context (in the form of an
encrypted payload) of the console can be retrieved using
FRDU:GetMyApproachContext.
Encrypted payloads can be decrypted using
FRDU:DecryptApproachContext.
It is possible to add a friend using an
encrypted payload using
FRDU:AddFriendWithApproach.

Notification Events
#
The friends module exposes a “Notification Events” system that allows client sessions to be notified of various related events.
A client sets its per-session notification event signaling handle using
FRDU:AttachToEventNotification.
The client can then customize for which
Notification Event Types it shall receive notifications using
FRDU:SetNotificationMask.
Once the handle has been signaled by the friends module, the client can use
FRDU:GetEventNotification to receive the notifications.
Notification Event Types
#
| Value | Description |
|---|
| 1 | The console went online. |
| 2 | The console went offline. |
| 3 | A friend is now present (went online). |
| 5 | A friend changed their Mii. |
| 6 | A friend changed their
Profile. |
| 7 | A friend is no longer present (went offline). |
| 8 | A friend has added you back as a friend (if you had added them before as a “provisionally registered” friend). |
| 9 | A friend sent you a joinable game invitation(?) (only signaled when the console’s JoinGameID matches that of the friend). |
| 146 | A friend changed their favorite game. |
| 147 | A friend changed their personal message. |
| 149 | A friend sent you an invitation. (signaled regardless of whether or not the console’s JoinGameID matches that of the friend) |
EventNotification

| 0x0 | 0x1 | u8,
Event Type |
| 0x1 | 0x7 | padding |
| 0x8 | 0x10 | FriendKey of the friend who caused this notification to be sent |
Relationship Types
#
Every valid entry in the internal friends list contains a relationship field.
| Value | Description |
|---|
| 0 | The target has been added locally and on the server, but is only “provisionally registered.” The target has not added you as a friend. |
| 1 | The target has been added locally and on the server and is fully registered: the target has also added you as a friend. |
| 2 | No relationship between you and the target has been found: neither you nor the target have added each other. |
| 3 | The relationship has been deleted: the target has deleted your friend card. |
| 4 | The target has been added locally: you were not online when you added the target. (presumably only happens when the “Local” method of adding a friend is used. When the system connects to the internet, a background task runs to register this relationship on the friends server.) |
Attribute Flags
#
| Flag | Description |
|---|
| 0x1 | Unknown (something like “target ever registered you”?), set when relationship type is 1, 3 or 4 |
| 0x2 | Unknown, set only when relationship type is 1 |

Server Types
#
The server type is stored internally as a combination of two values, the first value represents the server type letter and the second value is the number that follows it. For example, the production server type is “L1”, so the first value is 0 and the second value is 1.
🔗 Official servers only support the letters L, C, S, D, I, T, J or U.
| Value | Server Type Letter |
|---|
| 0 | L |
| 1 | C |
