Hardware > brightness adjustment?

#6936 - jenswa - Wed Jun 04, 2003 7:33 pm

How to adjust the brightness of the gba, with software i mean?
Is it just a trick to make the palette lighter and darker, or
is there some brightness control register?
I didn't think so, just a little voltage adjuster under the
gba serial number.

bye

Other than defining lighter colours in your palette, no. There's no software or hardware brightness control on the screen.

If you don't want to change your palette code, and you're not using the GBA's blend modes, you could use the blend registers to apply a slight fade to white across the entire screen.
