GreenCitrus is a homebrew project for the Nintendo 3DS, designed to mitigate the yellow tint often found on TN screens. The tool works by filling the TN screen with a white color at maximum brightness for an extended period.
- Detects screen type (TN or IPS) on New Nintendo 3DS systems.
- Displays static and dynamic information about the system's screen type, battery status, and adapter state.
- Allows users to select the screen to be de-yellowed (top or bottom).
- Provides a simple and user-friendly interface.
- Screen Detection: GreenCitrus detects whether the device is a New Nintendo 3DS and identifies the type of screens (TN or IPS) installed.
- De-Yellow'ing Process: By setting the TN screen to display white at maximum brightness for an extended duration (recommended between 6 hours to 24 hours), the yellow tint can be reduced or eliminated.
- User Interaction: Users can interact with the tool using the D-pad to select which screen to de-yellow, and view relevant information such as battery percentage and adapter state.
