Macro Definition Documentation

#define HALT_CR (*(vu16*)0x04000300)

Halt control register.

Writing 0x40 to HALT_CR activates GBA mode. HALT_CR can only be accessed via the BIOS.

#define REG_POWERCNT *(vu16*)0x4000304

Power control register.

This register controls what hardware should be turned on or off.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum ARM7_power

Power-controlled hardware devices accessable to the ARM7.

Note that these should only be used when programming for the ARM7. Trying to boot up these hardware devices via the ARM9 would lead to unexpected results. ARM7 only.

Enumerator
POWER_SOUND	Controls the power for the sound controller.
PM_CONTROL_REG	Selects the PM control register.
PM_BATTERY_REG	Selects the PM battery register.
PM_AMPLIFIER_REG	Selects the PM amplifier register.
PM_READ_REGISTER	Selects the PM read register.
PM_AMP_OFFSET	Selects the PM amp register.
PM_GAIN_OFFSET	Selects the PM gain register.
PM_BACKLIGHT_LEVEL	Selects the DS Lite backlight register.
PM_GAIN_20	Sets the mic gain to 20db.
PM_GAIN_40	Sets the mic gain to 40db.
PM_GAIN_80	Sets the mic gain to 80db.
PM_GAIN_160	Sets the mic gain to 160db.
PM_AMP_ON	Turns the sound amp on.
PM_AMP_OFF	Turns the sound amp off.

enum BACKLIGHT_LEVELS

Backlight level settings. Note, these are only available on DS Lite.

Enumerator
BACKLIGHT_LOW	low backlight setting.
BACKLIGHT_MED	medium backlight setting.
BACKLIGHT_HIGH	high backlight setting.
BACKLIGHT_MAX	max backlight setting.

enum DISP_BITS

LCD Status register bitdefines.

Enumerator
DISP_IN_VBLANK	The display currently in a vertical blank.
DISP_IN_HBLANK	The display currently in a horizontal blank.
DISP_YTRIGGERED	Current scanline and DISP_Y match.
DISP_VBLANK_IRQ	Interrupt on vertical blank.
DISP_HBLANK_IRQ	Interrupt on horizontal blank.
DISP_YTRIGGER_IRQ	Interrupt when current scanline and DISP_Y match.

enum PM_Bits

Power Management control bits.

Enumerator
PM_SOUND_AMP	Power the sound hardware (needed to hear stuff in GBA mode too).
PM_SOUND_MUTE	Mute the main speakers, headphone output will still work.
PM_BACKLIGHT_BOTTOM	Enable the bottom backlight if set.
PM_BACKLIGHT_TOP	Enable the top backlight if set.
PM_SYSTEM_PWR	Turn the power off if set.
POWER_LCD	Controls the power for both LCD screens.
POWER_2D_A	Controls the power for the main 2D core.
POWER_MATRIX	Controls the power for the 3D matrix.
POWER_3D_CORE	Controls the power for the main 3D core.
POWER_2D_B	Controls the power for the sub 2D core.
POWER_SWAP_LCDS	Controls which screen should use the main core.
POWER_ALL_2D	power just 2D hardware.
POWER_ALL	power everything.

Function Documentation

void ledBlink ( int bm )

Set the LED blink mode

Parameters

bm	What to power on.

void* memCached ( void * address )

returns a cached mirror of an address.

Parameters

address an address.

Returns: a pointer to the cached mirror of that address.

void* memUncached ( void * address )

returns an uncached mirror of an address.

Parameters

address an address.

Returns: a pointer to the uncached mirror of that address.

void powerOff ( int bits )

Turns off specified hardware.

May be called from arm7 or arm9 (arm9 power bits will be ignored by arm7, arm7 power bits will be passed to the arm7 from the arm9).

Parameters

bits	What to power on.

static void powerOn ( int bits )

inline

Turns on specified hardware.

May be called from arm7 or arm9 (arm9 power bits will be ignored by arm7, arm7 power bits will be passed to the arm7 from the arm9).

Parameters

bits	What to power on.

bool setCpuClock ( bool speed )

Sets the ARM9 clock speed, only possible in DSi mode.

Parameters

speed CPU speed (false = 67.03MHz, true = 134.06MHz)

Returns: The old CPU speed value

void setVectorBase ( int highVector )

Set the arm9 vector base.

Arm9 only

Parameters

highVector high vector

static void SetYtrigger ( int Yvalue )

inlinestatic

sets the Y trigger(?)

Parameters

Yvalue the value for the Y trigger.

void systemSleep ( void )

Causes the nds to go to sleep. The nds will be reawakened when the lid is opened.

Note: By default, this is automatically called when closing the lid.
