mmc_dumpPart(string type, string out)	type: Either BOOT or a partition on the gpt. out: Out folder: for BOOT this needs to be a folder, otherwise a filepath	Dumps a part from the e(mu)mmc. Determined by earlier mmc_connect's	returns >= 0

Variables

TegraScript has 2 kinds of variables, @ints, $strings.

• You can define @ints by writing @variable = setInt(0); (or any function for that matter).
• You can define $strings with the use of setString();, setStringIndex(); and combineStrings();.

You can use these variables in place of int or string inputs, so for example @b = setInt(@a) or setString($a, $b)

Note though that the int variables can't be assigned negative values

Built in variables

There are some built in variables:

• @EMUMMC: 1 if an emummc was found, 0 if no emummc was found
• @RESULT: result of the last ran function
• $CURRENTPATH: Represents the current path

(if fs_readdir() got ran)

• @ISDIRVALID: Is the open directory valid
• $FILENAME: Represents the current filename
• @ISDIR: 1 if the last read file is a DIR, otherwise 0

(if pause() got ran)

• @BTN_POWER, @BTN_VOL+, @BTN_VOL-, @BTN_A, @BTN_B, @BTN_X, @BTN_Y, @BTN_UP, @BTN_DOWN, @BTN_LEFT: result of the pause() function, represents which button got pressed during the pause() function

Flow control

You can use if(), goto() and math() functions to control the flow of your program. Example:

@i = setInt(0)
@LOOP = getLocation()
if (@i, <= , 10){
    @i = math(@i, + , 1)
    printInt(@i)
    goto (@LOOP)
}

pause()

This will print numbers 0 to 10 as @i: x

Another example:

printf("Press a button")

pause()

if (@BTN_VOL+){
    printf("Vol+ has been pressed")
}
if (@BTN_VOL-){
    printf("Vol- has been pressed")
}
if (@BTN_POWER){
    printf("Power has been pressed")
}

pause()

Changelog

03/05/2020

God fucking dammit it's 2am again

With the release of TegraExplorer v2.0.0, the pause() function changed. It adds some buttons from controllers if they are connected. See the pause() section above to see what buttons are mapped. Note that if no joycons are connected, power = a, up = vol+, down = vol-. Also note that the screen dimentions have changed, so your text might not fit anymore.

26/04/2020

With the release of TegraExplorer v1.5.2, there has been 1 new feature implemented.

printf() now can print multiple variables. printf("This ", "Is", $Pretty, @Neat) is valid syntax now

12/04/2020

With the release of TegraExplorer v1.5.1, there has been some breaking changes. ?LOOP and goto(?LOOP) is no longer valid syntax. Replace this with @LOOP = getLocation() and goto(@LOOP).

Other than this, @check = check(1, "==", 1) if (@check) {} can be simplified to if (1, == , 1) {}. For math() functions, you don't have to enclose operators in "" anymore (just like check/if), like @math = math(1, + , 1)
