I have been searching for a while, (i’m not the best at research, mind you) but I simply cannot find anything near what I am looking for except for this:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/is-ther...e-the-ds-switch-display-screens.274089/page-2
Which is from 2011 and is about a homebrew game on an original ds, wanting to swap the top and bottom screens because one is broken, not ds games being emulated through an r4 on a 3ds.

What i’m asking is, is there any simple way to swap the display of the top and bottom screen through an r4? I know it can be done easily through DeSmuME with the page down key, but there obviously isn’t one on a 3ds. (I want to swap the top and bottom screen in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, I’m replaying it again as I did years ago, but now the content being on the bottom screen instead of the top bothers me because of how it is done in the new Mystery Dungeon games.)

I know it’s a petty problem, but it would be great if there’s a solution.

No it wont be simple because nobody is able to load plugins while ds mode is activated. The ds has no OS like the 3ds and when you run ds games on 3ds the system unloads the os and all 3ds related stuff and behaves exactlylike a ds to maintain compatibility. The games have full control over the ds hardware.

You would need to build an own kernel for r4 (dsmenu.dat) and patch it to swap screens. Problem: it would probably take too much ram and cpu to even run roms.

    Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here)

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
