Homebrew does Luma3DS A9LH option New 3ds CPU cause battery drain?

[xdarkmario]

as the title says, i see that option in my A9LH and people say if a have a n3ds to enable it with clock=L2
i know that native N3ds clocks and not overclock but dose this impact 3ds battery?

 

[Sonansune]

it's draining faster of course.
chronicle blade, SSB, Pokemon S/M overclocked on default.

 

[xdarkmario]

so its just to leave it alone?

You should set this to Clock+L2 for the best performance, but only on New 3DS of course. If you have O3DS, leave this alone. Personally, I have had at least 4 or 5 hours of gameplay on this setting, so I wouldn't worry much about it.

Use it if you can as it will make your games run better. Just keep a charger near by if you know your going to be gone from home for awhile.

Why shouldn't we do this on o3DS?

 

[Aletron9000]

I don't think o3ds can do that kind of stuff

 

[Magical Sheep]

@Zero72463 O3DS can't use this because it does not have the faster CPU that the new models have.

Overclocking always causes battery drain.

Wait so this is on by default on S/M even if it's disabled on Luma options? I was thinking about whether I should turn it on for this game but if it's on by default I guess it makes no difference ..

Why I ask? Well, dual-battles have been a bit frame-y depending on the background and was hoping using this option would fix it but again, if it's on by default then wtf .. N3DS can't handle Pokemon Moon?

@Distrance, Pokemon Moon is a port of the Switch version. They didn't reduce the graphics though, and it consequently apparently has issues sometimes.
@OP Someone on Reddit measured it once, it was about 5-15% reduced battery, depending on game
@Distrance True, but if you set it to Clock only, it'll disable L2 even if the game needs it.

"True, but if you set it to Clock only, it'll disable L2 even if the game needs it." not since 6.6
