New in this release: screen brightness control for the DS Lite — the first community-requested feature (thanks for the suggestion on Reddit!).

  • The display settings sheet (gear button in the app bar) has a new Light row with the DS Lite's four backlight levels.
  • Tapping a level applies it instantly, is remembered across boots, and stays active inside the game you launch until the console powers off.
  • Until you pick a level the launcher leaves your firmware brightness untouched.
  • Safe on every model: the original DS has no brightness levels (the launcher detects this and leaves its power chip alone — its backlight register is shared with the sound amplifier control), and the DSi manages brightness through its own system menu.

Install: unzip, rename LAUNCHER.nds to _picoboot.nds, copy it and the _pico folder to the SD root. The Pico Loader files must also be present in /_pico — same as upstream.

Based on upstream commit d31a15c. All credit for the launcher's foundation goes to the LNH team.
