Homebrew Disabling 3DS LED Lights with Homebrew?

[Stjinchan]

For people who are interested, I uploaded the sooscode with a compiled example to my Github repo: https://github.com/MarcuzD/MCU_examples

I trust you Marcus!

Thanks for this awesome piece of homebrew!

I don't know if this is possible but it just came to me. Is it possible to change the color of the blue LED that indicates the system is on? I know how some people don't like the blue light so it would be cool if you could change it to something else that doesn't bother them as much.

You can only change it to either blue, red, or maybe off (I think ctraging was able to do this)

I'd rather a homebrew to the fuck that 24 hour clock off and give me a 12 hour one

I wonder if it's possible to make custom MCU firmware so you can't brick it the usual "poke everything" way, it ignores native_firm calls, and you can set any led to any value.

*looks at MCU's docs*
PLEASE NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nothing at all, just moved it to the directory, and renamed it It generates the exact same cia, just with a different filename.

So does that mean that RGB_rave causes a brick, or that MCUbricker doesn't?

duct tape. fixes everything.

some people want an option thats a bit more visually appealing

@MarcusD created a test homebrew demonstrating the LEDs capabilities.

Neither cause a brick above 8.x

How does the firmware version affect it? Any idea?

yls8 must have been on an ancient firmware when he bricked (like 4.x or something), so I guess that was the reason why he bricked. Also, Ninty got their shit together a bit more with the release of the new3DS, so that's why it got stable at 8.1/9.0

Oh of course, and 11.2 has more stability™ than ever!

Is there anything MCU-related that isn't safe to play around with now, to your knowledge?

Currently all mcu::HWC functions are safe to play with (yes, even mcuWriteRegister, I have tried writing into all registers, and my old3DS still works, and you can reset the MCU state just by removing the battery for a minute or so)

I have tested that to disable the power LED, works fine with me: https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/53mwvs/bipolar_turn_off_your_power_led/
(it displays also the % state of the battery charge level :-p)

Tested working on o3DSL XL A9LH Luma 6.2.2. Tested means I ran it on my console without trying to break it, without putting it to sleep, just as it was intented to use, then ran a normal mode game and an extended mode game. Please don't try to break it.

If he hasn't tried to break it, it hasn't been tested properly/fully.

Just a fair warning to all, unless you have the money to buy a new 3DS tomorrow, I'd recommend you steer clear of this (admittedly awesome sounding) homebrew.

wut. it's perfectly safe! it's as safe as using the 3DS sytem itself... at least on 8.1 and above, below that there's indeed a brick warning!
