Hacking brightness adjustment gone from ntr?

[SimplyFedorable]

So I have finally picked up my 3ds again to play through Fire Emblem Fates. I can usually only play at night due to my schedule and the 3ds max dimness is really not that dim. I used to use ntr to dim my brightness, and I installed the latest version of bootntr selector only to discover that the brightness feature is completely gone from the menu. I even downloaded the version I used before (3.4 preview6) and the option is gone from there to. Am I completely missing something? If you know how to fix this, please tell me. I'm on luma 8.1 n3ds with no clocking features enabled. I also have dual tn panels if that means anything

 

[RocketRobz]

Yep, it's gone.

 

[SimplyFedorable]

Yep, it's gone.

any reason for removing it? It was the best ntr feature by far in my eyes

 

[Oleboy555]

Why would they remove that? did they remove the blue light filter too?

That's still there. It's with the B&W and Negative color modes.

11.5 blocked it, a pointless dick move on Nintendo's part. Now I can't play in the dark anymore without wearing shades, and playing in bed next to my wife is now right out.

Yeah, I considered downgrading to 11.2 solely because of this. Decided that was too much work, and I would just be salty and half-blinded for the foreseeable future.

You *could* just use the regular brightness option present in HOME Menu Settings...

We know, the lowest official setting is still extremely bright. NTR used to allow for the screens to be dimmed MUCH darker. I used setting 2 out of 100 in NTR when in the dark before, while the lowest the official brightness selector supports is equivalent to 20 out of 100.

Oh so that's what happened? I'm gonna downgrade in that case

You'll have to use ctr-httpwn, I believe.

 

[froggestspirit]

How did nintendo block it? (from a technical standpoint)

 

[SaffronXL]

Don't downgrade yet! This feature will be implemented in Luma soon

Jupiteer: "That is in development, and a pull request will be submitted to luma when it is finished."

All hail Rosalina!

Although this isn't quite the same, you can enable Power Saving Mode to reduce the brightness by a tiny notch. You can also make a screen protector out of a polariser sheet to reduce the brightness. Polarisers are infinitely adjustable so you can have much more fine-tuned brightness filtering.

Not on 11.5+

So, any similar option for luma? I just updated my 3ds from 11.4 to 11.6 and it's gone... Never update I guess. The brightness boost was extremely useful outside.

it was patched
