I recently repaired my top screen on my 2dsxl and noticed its too dim. 3dsident says its ips, which the 2dsxl never had oem. Other threads mention getting hwcal0.dat files from a good setup will help, does someone have and ips top and tn bottom 2ds xl setup available and can share?

If not, is there a way to independently set the backlight to increase the screen brightness? Luma's screen filters don't help.

Thanks, that sounds like it'll work for me! Its not done though, is there a way to get luma to increase just hte backlight of the top screen? THe max is 142 right now is there a config file where this can be edited?

Don't think so, you should have gotten the screen off a 2ds xl instead.
