PowerPrevent_SysModule is project is a modified version of the Luma3DS Rosalina menu SysModules with an added power button safety mechanic.

To prevent acidental pressing of the power button during gameplay, it is now required to hold the Start button while pressing the power button in order to shutdown the console.

Due to a limitation in the SysModule loading of Luma3DS, this project is essentially a fork of Rosalina and replaces it with a modified version of itself. Rosalina still works like before.

Installation

Go to the Luma3DS config menu by holding the Select button during boot.

Enable the option Enable loading external FIRMs and modules.

Copy the downloaded rosalina.cxi into the SDHC:/luma/sysmodules folder on your SD card. Don't rename the file. If it isn't called rosalina.cxi, Luma won't load it.

Restart your console. Everything should be working now.

User guide

To shutdown the 3DS now, the Start button has to be held down before pressing the power button. Otherwise the button will be completely ignored.

In addition to Rosalina, there is now a check that enables or disables the interrupt caused by a short press of the power button.

Long pressing the power button will still cause a hard shutdown, without the need for pressing the START button.

Limitations

For now the only way to load a system module in Luma3DS is by replacing an existing one. This is the reason why the entire Rosalina code is included. For now this is purely an addition to Rosalina.

Changelog
