Hello.
Does anyone know how to fix those "washed out" colors by messing with the file "/3ds/open_agb_firm/config.ini", please?
It seems that, doing what is written in orange color, there's no improvement.
Why do the colors look off?
A: The default gamma settings are intended to make up for the washed out colors the 3DS LCD has. If they look weird to you, setting the outGamma setting to 2.2 might help.
The same games on mGBA seem much crispier and vivid.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes.

that's just how graphics were made for the gba, they had to be made really bright to compensate for not having a backlight on the early models. Mgba probably does some postprocessing to remove that.

There are patches for some games e.g. the Mario Advance games that restore the more vibrant SNES colours.

    Today I learned that the creators of the Donkey Kong games also made Sea of Thieves
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    why do i feel the sudden urge to start singing pirate's scorn from the donkey kong country cartoon?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Are you being for real, cause that's hard to believe, DK is Nintendo and made in japan, Sea of thieves was from Microsoft, in America. I'm not calling you a liar, just didn't know.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ok yes they were both made by Rare, but DK was from Rare back then, Rare now is owned by MS. So makes since.
