Homebrew [Request] CTRAging (3ds debug app) research.

[Luigi64]

Were there fancy graphics while testing?

Yes when you just start the app and do nothing

Here's a quick comparison between NTR-AGING and CTR-AGING, because we can:

Oh, and this is what the LED rave test looks like:

At least NTR-AGING actually tells you what's going on.

I wish there was an app dedicated just to rave flashing LEDs.

I wish there was an app dedicated just to rave flashing LEDs.

And with Music Support (LED Flashes in the speed of Music)

 

[BurningDesire]

Nintendo be like
How and why do they find out about this stuff, it was taken off the 3DS because it is useless as shit.

Anyways really cool work guys!

When you doesn´t press Start on boot it took 26 Minutes until you see a Green Pass Screen
N3DS XL EUR

You can actually change the duration of that test. It's pretty useless anyway

Looks like the notification LED can actually turn white:

The MCU LED test causes all of the LEDs on the console to flash all of their different colours, like a rave. Interestingly enough, the demo photo for the LED test depicts an N3DS XL whereas previous demo pictures only show an O3DS.

Remember what happened to Yellows8 when he messed with the LED's though?

Edit - Even A9LH won't save you if you get a MCU brick

I guess you are KIND of safe if you have A9LH though

a9lh won't help you with an MCU brick.

0.0 oh boy, then this is quite the dangerous work

If it works as NTRAging, there should be a way to disable not working tests, and make it pass. (I would make a nand backup first, we don't know if it formats the 3ds after that)

 

[Clector]

I you have already CTRAging installed, does it deletes itself again if you System Format meanwhile setup like it did before?
Someone who have installed this can try to see what happens.

 

[NekoMichi]

I just extracted the contents of romfs, there are a few interesting photos and diagrams inside. Am I allowed to post them here, or is that forbidden since it's a dev app?

Just images should be fine.

It's copyrighten. Post it on that iso site

Edit - ninja'd by @astronautlevel

 

[NekoMichi]

I'm confused, is that a yay or nay?
Or should I just put them in an Imgur album so that it doesn't take up a huge space in this thread?

 

[Clector]

Only the images will be okay, I"m not sure about the diagrams either but I think there also can"t be any real problem here if they are only images.

 

[NekoMichi]

Well, here's an Imgur album with a few images as a test.
There's another folder with 87 more images of test procedures but I'm not sure if it's okay to post.
Please let me know if this is acceptable within GBAtemp's rules and if not, I'll remove the link.

The assets from the GPU test are also accessible. For example, the 3D model of the kimono can be viewed via Photoshop:

It's inside a folder called LightingAniso, so I assume it's an anisotropic filtering test?
(by the looks of it, this seems to be a men's kimono, if you were wondering)

 

[SomeGamer]

Just wondering, can I modify anything permanently using CTRAging or is it strictly for testing?

IIRC CTRAging may(?) factory reset the NAND once it's done. Make a backup
