It can cycle colors on your Switch screen very rapidly to try and repair stuck/dead pixels.

Odd thing to say, but when I try to run make on this, it outputs:

Hey man, i just did a fresh pull of the repo, and it compiled again without any problems.
I guess you are missing some dependencies in Devkitpro.

I have installed the following via pacman, and would advice you to do the same:

Let me know if that solves it!

You need to update libnx.

 

[FatherOfEgg]

It was a both dkp-libs and updating libnx, mainly updating libnx. But it works, so I express my gratitude to both of you.

 

[marice]

Updated the program to 0.2 (edited first post)

It now has a menu(instructions screen), and rapid color cycle mode (for trying to repair stuck/lazy/dead pixels).

Thank-you, out of mild curiosity I've been tearing apart the source of a lot of these test HomeBrew, and trying to see how much I can learn from them, so far it's going well, but I had very little understanding of the button key-presses, and their relation with different screen states, well aside from the uniform plus key-press to break to the hbbmenu, but alll HomeBrew should have that, and it takes you out of the HB, so that disn't help in my case....

Will this ever get updated?
I keep getting errors on the latest ams and firmware

Probably need to be recompile with newer version of libnx.
