Would it be possible to put the DSLite firmware onto the original DS.
The firmware are the same but on DSLite at the bottem left corner of the touch screen, you can choose how bright you want your screen to come.
I doubt this is possible because the DSLite will most proberly be useing new componants (new cathode tubes) and will not work with the original DS.

How do you know it's possible to set that?

I'm a bit lazy to look it up, but I believe the FCC.Gov site has all the info regarding the DSLite and it was probably mentioned there.
What I'm more interested is in getting the NWFC Settings Viewer and Editor inside the firmware without the use of MKDS or ACWW...
I know El Hobbito is working on his own, but if t he DSLite includes these settings in the firmware, and we can rip them to make them fit in the OLD DS Firmware.. well, it would be great, I'm sure everyone agrees with me on this one.

I think it's possible, because the Original DS also seems to have brightness features (FlashMe fades backlight in!).

No. Backlight in the old generation DS units can only be "on" or "off".
I guess Loopy/Olimar used the code that changes the color of the touchscreen background from black to white :)

Good point. If that's true, this is a perfect illusion, heh.

Even if the original DS could fade in with the backlight, the DS Lite has brighter cathode tubes so it would be very unlikely you could make the screen brighter.

Ahhh, so that's how Band Brothers disables the DS speakers when the lid's closed, but if you put in headphones you can still hear the music playing.
A feature MoonShell should definately have. But that's off topic. :)

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I apologize. :>

I wonder if that fading/dimming trick might hurt the bulb? :-/

Doesn't the DS use Electric Film?
I'd have though a cathode tube would be too fragile for a handheld.
