Just wanted to show you my latest backlight fade-in demo.
The code is open, but please don't use it because it might produce unwanted bugs.

it's cool! you have used a kind of PCM?
#116568 - Lick - Fri Jan 26, 2007 11:22 pm
No, I've used a rather simple method. =/ Actually, I don't know. Look at the source code, maybe it is PCM without me knowing it.

I'm assuming that this only works on DS Lites? Phats don't normally fade in upon bootup unless they are using FlashMe, which IIRC shows something closer to a fade-in animation than actual fade-in.

Works on Phats too (at least it should). The backlights are turned on and off, doesn't have to do with brightness levels.

Hm, perhaps I should have at least tried it before commenting...
*slaps himself*
You're right, it works on my Phat, and although the backlight fading is a bit choppy, it works well enough.

Yeah, same result on mine. It works, but the flicker is quite noticeable. FlashMe does it smoothly, so it's possible.

To give a little update: I shortened the intervals more so the flickering is almost gone. The thing is, the firmware version has a total runtime of half a second or so, and I'm doing it a full second so there's where you see it happening.
I'll release an optimized version. =)

Is this smooth enough?

It's better, but still noticeable.

On my fat DS (original firmware v1, with FlashMEv7, GBAMP CF), the backlight fade works great. No noticeable flickering (though I'm somewhat visually impared...). If only it were possible to change the speed of the fade, and to keep the backlight off. Perhaps do a fade the other way (light to dark).
