Update: LoveLite-1.1 is released. It's better for your hardware.

Detailed post

Project name:
LoveLite - actually (Love)Lite. But it’s easier without the paranthesis. No I'm not a hippy, I'm in love. =D

Description:
LoveLite allows you to permanently (that is: power-off-proof) adjust your Lite brightness setting. It’s a project that came out of an earlier experiment (see below). There’s also a very sensitive Power Off button so you don’t have to push the powerbutton (the real one) twice.
I never ran ALite, but I heard that ALite doesn’t permanently save the brightness. So I made LoveLite.

Oh - and I know this is a Supercard forum, so here is some good news. I'm going to try to release a version with "Return to Supercard" instead of "Power Off" function. This way, you can get all to the action quicker!!
Nice that Supercard is skinnable now, by the way.


Enjoy!

Thanks for including us Supercardians into the picture. I knew all that cash I gave you wasn't to waste. :lol:

Nice work, will try it when I get home

[Lick]

Thanks for the feedback guys! Yes, I'm still thankful for all the kindness towards me! :wink:

Anyway, I uploaded LoveLite-1.1 (in case anyone already got the initial release). It saves to hardware only when you press the Power Off button. This is probably better for your hardware (as most people might play around with the brightnesslevels first, a few dozen times).

Get the new files!

could this lead to an adjust the brightness in game type of project?

Hope not to disappoint you, but the DS is incapable of that what you suggest. Once the 'game' (or any software) is given control, previous software is undone/disabled/gone! Not sure if you can 'inject' it into games.

I wonder if he meant Homebrew games....

what do you think the ds is ... some sort of psp wanna be, sheesh

Could someone please explain in a bit more detail why this is needed? I don't doubt that its a good thing, I just don't understand why. I bought a DSLite, I set the brightness, and its stayed on that setting ever since. What do you mean by "permanently" set the brightness?

[Lick]

It's an alternative to booting back to the original firmware each time you need to adjust the brightness. I figured that some people want this as they still use ALite.

I love simple but extremely useful homebrew apps like this.  Thanks!

I was thinking of the SP  :razz:  I miss that feature

Nope, flashme users can adjust their brightness the normal way too.

This tool is for people who don't want to boot their DS to the Nintendo menu to set screen brightenss.

i'm sorry, but WHAT is the purpose of this software?

it lets you adjust the brightness by booting to your SuperCard device and running the program. INSTEAD of booting to the DS firmware?

how does that save time?

instead of using Nintendo's brightness control, i'm using a 3rd party brightness control that does the SAME THING.

when i want to adjust brightness i power on the system, click the brightness icon, then reboot.

with this, i'd power on the system, select the "LoveLite" program, run it, adjust brightness, and then reboot.

what am i missing? that seems like more work.
