I don't know if this is possible but it just came to me. Is it possible to change the color of the blue LED that indicates the system is on? I know how some people don't like the blue light so it would be cool if you could change it to something else that doesn't bother them as much.

You can only change it to either blue, red, or maybe off (I think ctraging was able to do this)

How does the firmware version affect it? Any idea?

yls8 must have been on an ancient firmware when he bricked (like 4.x or something), so I guess that was the reason why he bricked. Also, Ninty got their shit together a bit more with the release of the new3DS, so that's why it got stable at 8.1/9.0 :P

Oh of course, and 11.2 has more stability™ than ever!

Is there anything MCU-related that isn't safe to play around with now, to your knowledge?

Currently all mcu::HWC functions are safe to play with (yes, even mcuWriteRegister, I have tried writing into all registers, and my old3DS still works, and you can reset the MCU state just by removing the battery for a minute or so) :P

I have tested that to disable the power LED, works fine with me: https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/53mwvs/bipolar_turn_off_your_power_led/
(it displays also the % state of the battery charge level :-p)
Tested working on o3DSL XL A9LH Luma 6.2.2. Tested means I ran it on my console without trying to break it, without putting it to sleep, just as it was intented to use, then ran a normal mode game and an extended mode game. Please don't try to break it.
If he hasn't tried to break it, it hasn't been tested properly/fully.

Just a fair warning to all, unless you have the money to buy a new 3DS tomorrow, I'd recommend you steer clear of this (admittedly awesome sounding) homebrew.

wut. it's perfectly safe! it's as safe as using the 3DS sytem itself... at least on 8.1 and above, below that there's indeed a brick warning!

    I wanna grab a 360 Slim and a 360 E one of these days. Missed the boat of getting them at their lowest though, once they were discontinued. Could've got them for cheap back when I was a broke 20 something working at Target, but then again, I was a broke 20 something working at Target
