Luma 10.3 with Night/Light and Quick-Switchers 10.3 2022-03-24

Official Luma version number bump
  • Recent official Luma changes e.g. improved system time setting and "Wait for B release before exiting rosalina menu".
  • Pixel-Pop's feature to load custom logo.bin from "/luma/logo.bin" (example: rename this file to "logo.bin" or create your own).
New features:
  • Night/Light: apply custom screen filter and adjust brightness on-boot/awaken depending on time of day! (Sono discovery)
  • 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 update: "Home button opens Rosalina", "Y toggle bottom LCD in menu"(also exits Rosalina).
  • Shift volume display when in Debug mode.
New features:
  • Extra Config sub-menu within System config sub-menu to manage power-saving options: Automatically suppress LEDs, Cut power to TWL Flashcards, Cut 3DS WiFi in sleep mode.
  • 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).
New features:
  • Quick toggle Wifi from menus with START button press
  • Option to force revert TWiLightMenu widescreen patch from Quick-Switchers submenu - useful if game specific aspect ratio patch fails or forced exit from TWiLightMenu
  • Option to toggle rehid folder from System configuration sub menu - useful to temporarily disable rehid patch to allow use of button combos that might otherwise be blocked (Rosalina, BootNTR, plugins, wumiibo). Folder must be disabled before loading game to not have rehid apply.
  • Merged in enhancements to Luma cheats system
Updates:
  • Widescreen.cxi added to Quick-Switchers - place .cxi files in "/luma/sysmodules/Widescreen" to use
  • Most recent Official Luma changes, including SD card stats shown in Debug info
  • Merged in "Allow Patches in the Home Menu" e.g. place BetterBatteryColors hud_LZ.bin in /luma/titles/*YourRegionHomeMenuTitleId*/romfs
  • Volume now automatically muted and slider disabled when entering Software volume control interface
New feature:
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
Minor fixes:
  • Able to use minimum luminance 0 for O3DS and 1 on N3DS
  • Custom screen filter reapply bug fix
  • Toggle top & bottom LCD power
New feature:
Software volume control interface (thanks again to Sono)
  • Accessible from System Configuration sub menu
  • Change volume in 1/64 steps without using physical volume slider
  • Volume percentage now displayed in sub menus
Minor fixes:
  • Consistent LED suppression behaviour
  • Disabled bottom LCD power off for o2DS
  • Bottom LCD power off now toggles
Minor updates:
  • Merge of Official Luma new functionality to display extra battery and firmware version details
  • Custom screen filter interface now displays the values previously saved for the top screen when first opened
New feature:
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"
  • 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
Updated to Luma 10.2.1 (fixes system version 11.14 not booting)

New feature:
Set screen brightness to below preset minimum
  • Typical preset min is 20 to 16, now able to reach down to 1
  • Uses luminanceToBrightness function for calculation provided by official Luma team
  • Some low brightness values may be skipped for a screen due to calculation rounding errors
  • Tweaking only a single screen below the preset minimum may cause the other screen brightness to slightly increase or decrease (particularly on O3DS)

    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    T @ TheSusKing: no, i mean if i could store the app on the usb so it doesnt take up my storage
