CtrRGBPAT2 changelog
v2.5 · Apr 27, 2025
Hello again
I'm back for another release with quite the exciting changes. Most notably...
Low battery pattern editing
That's right, you can now make this annoying blinking light less of a pain with this new release. I know some of you had been waiting for it for a long time so here it finally is. Do note that there is currently no way to change the color of the LED as it does not function the same way as a classic animation.
For the rest, here's a full list of the changes :
- Reworked the menus a bit (again)
- Pattern editor now also shows separate R G and B values that you can edit
- Added loading menus for default animations and currently installed animations
- Added previews in a few places (pattern editor, low battery, and some loading menus)
- Added joystick/CPAD support
- Added direction holding support (you can now move faster in the menus)
- Added better B key handling (go back one menu at a time instead of directly to the main menu)
- Fixed the colors not showing on the display (pull request have been sent to devkitPro/libctru)
- Fixed the preview holding a color if the last one was set (#1, do any action to stop the preview)
- Fixed the building process a bit. No more errors
Note that if you try to build the file manually, the result might be different as i have used my own version of libctru which includes the lastest version with devkitPro/libctru#570 and devkitPro/libctru#561 applied.
I hope you enjoy this release, the next one will probably add pattern loading from a file.
Have fun ! :)

v2.4 · Mar 12, 2025
Hi.
It's been a while
Anyway here's what's new :
- Added preset loading
- Added per pattern mode selection (sleeping or awake)
- Overall new menu layout
- Preparing for the next updates (low battery pattern and file loading)
There are some regression with colors not correctly displayed on the text, this comes from a devkitpro update and i've sent a bug report for it
Again, sorry for being this late but hey look i didn't abandon this i told you.
The next updates should hopefully cover the low battery pattern (which i have, i just need to make a good menu/conversion for it) and the pattern loader from a file.
If you find any bug or anything, please make an issue or tag me on discord about it
Have fun :)

v2.3 · Dec 10, 2023
Hey ! I'm not dead ! :D
Anyway here's what's new :
- I'm on the Universal updater ! Yipeeeeee !
- Fixed crash of force exit of the app (finally, i knew those std::strings were evil)
- Also you can now go back to the HOME menu again if you want
- Fixed a few visual glitches
- The unknown pattern is now known : it triggers when you boot your DS or you exit sleep mode (can make for some cool transitions)
The roadmap also has been updated with some ideas from Semka (thx)
I'm definitely not done with this yet, i still have a few things i want to implement but also i don't have the time. This is kind of like a fun project so please don't mind the unfrequent updates, thank you
Have fun ! :)

v2.2.1 · Oct 9, 2023
Ok so this release mainly include bugfixes so everything should be working now. If not, refer to the warning in the previous release (V2.2)
But ! I also included a copy/paste function in the custom editor (it was definitely required)
So yeah, little improvement. Btw i still don't know what the Unknown LED pattern and the one that resemble the Friend notification are for, so if anyone can help me on the subject open an issue please
And talking about issues, if you ever get stuck on something : look up in the readme if it haven't been covered already, and if not make an issue about the problem
Anyway, have fun ! :)

v2.1 · Sep 23, 2023
Please use this release instead of the old one, your 3DS/2DS will be fine but people may be scared because of a crash on launch of your console with the patch enabled.
To remediate to this, erase the file at /luma/titles/0004013000003502/code.ips and your console will be fine once again
OK so there are bugfixes in this release (notably the one cited above) and THE TOGGLE (yes it's here)
Full changelog :
- Colored UI ! (a bit)
- Little preview (on screen, may not be 100% accurate)
- Toggle on/off the patch
- Prevent users from going to the HOME menu (still haven't found a fix to handle closing properly)
- Bugfixes
Hope you enjoy :)

v2 · Aug 31, 2023
This release will be labeled as v2 because the program is still mainly written by CPunch for the original CtrRGBPATTY project.
Anyway, here's what's new :
- More controls ! Smoothness and loop delay
- Noob-proofs parameters
- Bugfixes (a lot)
also new icon/banner/sound but not really important, i just wanted to try some stuff :)
This is not the final version ! There will be more in the future (look at the README.md)
Hope you enjoy ! :)
