Homebrew [Release] 3DS RGB LED test program

[wyatt8740]

Sorry, don't mind me; just rebuilt the program from some source code I found on some copy's github repo, since the original disappeared.

CIA's and .3dsx files included. For some reason the makefile didn't want to work 100% so I had to manually run makerom to make the .cia's.

Also, can this be used to change the power LED to be green instead of blue by default, or something (does that LED even support RGB?) It drives me insane and I would rather not try my hand at soldering on microscopic parts.

I still have it on my 3DS if anyone wanted a compiled version years ago.

Nope, the Power LEDs are blue and red, and there is no mode setting which allows you to make it pink for more than a couple tens of miliseconds. It's either red, red blinking, blue, blue "breathing" (sleep mode), and off.

Thanks. I guess I'll buy and solder in an LED that doesn't offend my eyes (I know I can; I just would rather not especially since I likely have to add a resistor to not burn out a green LED).

Well, apparently the repository doesn't exist anymore. Did you change your username?

Yes, but it doesn't exist anymore on my account for some reason...

So I downloaded the files and put them in my cias after that I do I just install the brick mcu and the led dimmer?

These are two relevant tools: CustomRGBPattern and CtrRGBPATTY. Developer info here. Hope that helps .

Side note since I noticed you are new: the forum search function is actually pretty good here, so I was able to remind myself of these tools just by searching for "notification led". There are lots of interesting projects from years back to be found, but do feel free to ask around .

when i first saw the video the first thing i thought of was this
*epilepsy warning, i guess*

now we need Caramelldansen from the 3ds's speakers
in all seriousness nice job!

Does this work on a New 2DS?

I don't have one, but assuming it has the RGB notification LED, then there is nothing preventing this from working on it.
