what exactly is this?

[THUD]

HE HE would be great if it remembered the settings for next time save having to pull out the SC...

Nice little app though, allows you to change brightness, blink on/off of your DS led and even the speed...

[ACID]

Sounds nice but dont see the just of it.

[THUD]

Nope neither do i, but hey it works....

demos like this are just proofs of concepts, so just a demo to show it can be done, and can be incorporated into other bigger projects possibly later on.

as in- imagine a game where, when it turned to a night scene the screen brightness dropped, or a game where the flashing of the led would tell you an enemy is near.

Hi everyone!

I wrote this demo as a proof-of-concept and as a 'guide' (targetted to other DS homebrewers, that is) to program features that are beyond standard graphics. (Many aspects to DS homebrewing aren't well documented, yet.)
As the demo comes with the source code, I believe it can help many creating professional looking games/apps. Especially apps where brightness control is useful.

Next to the backlight-brightness, there is actually a video-brightness. This controls the screenpixels output value. Like in PhotoShop, you can make the pixels very bright (all near 100% white) and very dark (all near 100% black) and inbetween. This is comparable to the old Big GameBoy's contrast-wheel. Useful for fading in and out, and others..
