ROM Hack DS temperature sensor?

[kelvinate]

Does anyone know if the DS/DSL have a temperature sensor? I recently installed Moonshell and next to the time display the temperature. I checked it with a real themometer and its close enough?

SO does anyone know whether the DS/DSL have a temperature sensor?

 

[Vater Unser]

maybe it shows the CPU temperature, who knows...

Just guessing, but I think its the temp of the battery? Lithium-Ion batteries deteriorate quickly at high temps so maybe its something ninty implemented to troubleshoot.

Its defo not the room temp, cos mine says 33C sometimes in moonshell and my room is like 18

 

[kelvinate]

That make sense, as I dont see why Nintendo would include a temperature sensor in DS without telling anyone, It could be use for implmentation for games after all. Most li-ion battery does have temperature/current circuit on them to preven them to blow up

.

I found this. There are actually two diodes inside the touchscreen that are used for the calculation of the temperature you see.

Weather it is for a screen or battery, i compared it to another electronic room thermometer and it was very accurate...so, i guess you can safely say moonshell is always dectecting room temperature.

Its the temparture meter right next to the battery... You can't see it, but after leaving y DS in a fridge for about 30 minutes the Temp was still 33.4C

The M3 interface tells you the temperature too.

Lol, did and condensate form on the ds? Surprise anyone had the balls to do this lol

 

[Mangofett]

No it was fine, but it reeked of rotten carrots ._. Well I have a Lite now, so further experimintation will go on my old DSPhat!

Dude, bad idea. I did that with my cell phone and the LCD is forever messed up. Imagine having an LCD with a 5 ms response time, sticking it in the freezer turns it to 50ms.

It's an FCD now.. frozen crystal display

lol @ alexeh

how could this be used in rom/game development in the future?

 

[lagman]

Well...like Boktai but with temp instead of light...

EDIT: It wont work

 

[iza]

Boktai sensed light?

[lagman]

Doesn´t it?
I mean the GBA version

 

[tama_mog]

wow imagine.....in final fantasy you'd have to visit certain areas to unlock certain secrets...like deserts and arctic environments...

Boktai sensed light?

It did, yeah. (wait....did I miss the sarcasm?
