User guide
Custom screen filters
- Redshift custom screen filter:
- Tweak screens individually (not possible for o2DS due to single screen hardware).
- Dimming effect for additional brightness reduction.
- Much greater range of filter customisation.
- Reapplies saved filter on awaken from sleep.
- Automatic LED suppression when filter applied.
- Night/Light screen filters:
- Apply custom screen filter and adjust brightness on-boot/awaken depending on time of day.
- Access Night/Light Config and Edit Filters via Screen filters menu. Config saved in "/luma/" as "configBootshift.bin", "lightshift.bin" and "nightshift.bin".
- Temporarily disable Night/Light time check via X button in menus. Manual application of screen filters also disables Night/Light.
- Extra Config sub menu to manage optional features:
- Automatically suppress LEDs on boot.
- Automatic cut to slot power when booted with DS/TWL game cartridge inserted.
- This stops DS flashcarts from leeching power when not in use.
- You will need to force boot into DS game cartridge by using the CIA from here, with TWiLightMenu or reinsert the cartridge.
- Automatic cut 3DS WiFi in sleep mode.
- Open Rosalina menu with Home Button.
- Toggle bottom LCD backlight from menus with Y button (also exits menu).
- Quick-Switchers sub menu:
- Quick-Switch between your preferred filters/config for DS/i games (TwlBg) and GBA games (AgbBg, open_agb_firm, Open AGB Launcher).
- TwlBg option displays ".cxi" files from "/luma/sysmodules/TwlBg" and persists selected file name to "/luma/sysmodules/twlbgName.txt".
- Widescreen option displays ".cxi" files from "/luma/sysmodules/Widescreen" and persists selected file name to "/luma/sysmodules/widescreenName.txt".
- AgbBg option displays ".cxi" files from "/luma/sysmodules/AgbBg" and persists selected file name to "/luma/sysmodules/agbbgName.txt".
- Open_AGB option displays ".ini" files from "/3ds/open_agb_firm" and persists selected file name to "/3ds/open_agb_firm/configName.txt".
- Works best with meaningful file names e.g. "redshiftWideMode.cxi", "pixelPerfect.cxi", "lowBrightness.ini".
- Delete the .txt file when creating new TwlBg/AgbBg patches to avoid the persisted name being incorrect.
- Option to force revert TWiLightMenu widescreen patch.
Plugin loader
- Supports new CTRPF v0.6.0 and v0.7.0 .3GX format plugin (header 3GX$0002):
- Not backwards compatible with .plg or old .3gx.
- Default plugin available from Nanquitas' Playground announcements channel.
- "default.3gx" goes in "/luma/plugins" directory.
- All credit to Nanquitas and PabloMK7 and anyone else involved in the CTRPF project.
Brightness and volume control
- Enhanced brightness adjustment interface:
- Adjust brightness of top and bottom screens independently (not possible for o2DS due to single screen hardware).
- Option to use hidden true maximum brightness (at your own risk?).
- Option to use hidden true minimum brightness.
- Option to switch off bottom screen backlight entirely.
- Software volume control interface:
- Accessible from System Configuration sub menu.
- Change volume in 1/64 steps without using physical volume slider.
- Volume percentage now displayed in sub menus.
- Permanent brightness recalibration:
- Recalibration is applied for 3DS, DS/i and GBA modes.
- Accessible from System Configuration sub menu.
- Edit the values behind the 5 selectable brightness levels.
- Changes are saved to NAND so use sparingly to avoid wearing out the memory.
- Upper limit of 172 is found in code so it is presumed to be safe but may reduce LCD lifespan.
Miscellaneous
- Title specific N3DS settings:
- Automatically launch chosen titles with N3DS 804MHz cpu & L2 cache enabled.
- Option available in N3DS menu when title is running (config file saved to "/luma/n3ds" folder).
- Misc/QoL:
- Quick toggle LEDs from menus by pressing Select.
- Quick toggle WiFi from menus by pressing Start.
- New3DS clock/cache status visible on main menu.
- Allow Patches in the Home Menu, e.g. place files from BetterBatteryColors or another example in /luma/titles/*YourRegionHomeMenuTitleId*/romfs - thank you gabe565.
- Merged in enhancements to Luma cheats system - thank you s5bug.
- Option to toggle rehid folder System configuration sub menu (folder must be disabled before loading game to not have rehid apply).
- Thanks to Pixel-Pop: load custom logo.bin from "/luma/logo.bin" (example: rename this file to "logo.bin" or create your own).
