White

A white LED indicates that the Operator device is correctly connected to your PC and is currently in standby mode, meaning no operations are being executed at that moment. It's a sign of readiness and a cue that you can commence your gaming or data management activities.

It serves as an indicator of ongoing data transfer, informing you that your homebrew game or save file is currently being copied to the cartridge.

Green & Blue

The green and blue LED notifications are indicators of data downloading from the cartridge. A green light means a game is being backed up, helping ensure that your valuable game data is preserved. Conversely, a blue light signifies that a save file is being downloaded, a crucial step in safeguarding your progress in various games.
