Homebrew RELEASE MayDel

MayDel

A useless Switch system module who allow you to light on/off the (hidden) LED on the right JoyCon or Pro Controller.
Works on firmware higher than 7.x ONLY!

Currently it's only support the gamecard state event. The LED blink if you add or remove the gamecard.
Maybe more will be added later... Blink only works when LED is already power on. As we can't know if the LED is already off or on after a sleep or a reboot. You have to light on it back to get the blink.

Usage

- Put the release zip content inside sdmc:/atmosphere/titles/ and reboot your switch.
- Push Left Stick and ZL to light on.
- Push Left Stick and ZR to light off.
- Enjoy...

This also works for the pro controller

Worth noting that you need restart the Switch before use it, either shut down or reboot to payload.

If you got a video link I’ll add it to the readme with pleasure!

As all times when you install a system module but I should noticed that in the readme too!

It could be cool add another events for example a cue for emuiibo @XorTroll so when exchanging amiibos it blinks (different from the blink when extracting / inserting the cartridge), other uses I imagine is an indicator for sys-clk, so it notify when a game is being overclocked/undercklocked @p-sam

I feel so cool with this on . Great Work.

Does anyone know why this light has never come on? Was it originally planned as a feature that nintendN scrapped?

I've never seen this light lit up without cfw or extra wires.

Considering it wasn’t usable at all in Horizon until 7.0, they probably just threw it on there in case they ever wanted to have the home button light up for whatever rewason

You was able to light on the LED with HID command, like CTCaer did in JC_Toolkit. But now Ninty add a service call to do it directly on the Switch.

Readme and Topic updated. Thanks to Naked_Snake for the picture!
