Hacking Circle Pad patches for Super Mario 64 DS and other games (in TwilightMenu with TWPatcher and RTCom)

[xtreme1]

Does it matter what region you use with the patches available? Like if I used the JPN version of Dementium II, would that still work somehow? Or are there title id's listed somewhere?

Sort of, I am not sure. I actually develop and test my mods on Desmume, it has pretty nice scripting capabilities with Lua. The problem is that I don't think there is a way to read an input from an analog stick of an actual gamepad, at least I couldn't do it under Wine. I ended up using my mouse to emulate the CPad. Don't know anything about other emulators.
So if it's possible to write your own scripts and somehow work with a gamepad, then it probably would be possible to play with my mods on those emulators. Not without editing of course (huge chunk of these mods deal with 3ds specific stuff), but it would be the simplest part

Did you try looking into this?

I would expect not, as your DS emulator isn't emulating the 3DS hardware!
There is a special build of DeSmuME that gives you analog movement in Mario 64 using a fictional GBA-slot analog stick dongle.
I am not aware of analog mods for any other DS games in emulators. Maybe ask the creator of the SM64 DeSmuME mod for details of how they got the game to accept GBA-slot signals as touchscreen input? It might be possible to implement it in other games that use the touchscreen for analog movement.

Hi, I wanted to ask about this mod for Super Mario 64 DS.

My intention was to have a forwarder in the menu of this game with the widescreen and analog plus control the camera with the c stick / ZR ZL, the other DS games would play on a R4 or original cartridges.

So from forwarders it would only be Mario and two other DS games (Marth's Fire Emblem, because due to the spanish translation patch in the R4 they don't work but in the forwarder they work perfect).

The thing is that as I have seen, when using TWPatch, it automatically applies the widescreen in all compatible games, including original cartridges and R4, which does not work for me, because I like how DS games look on a NEW 3DS, the only one I would like to patch the Widescreen and controls is Super Mario 64 DS.

So, is there any method to patch only Super Mario 64 DS without affecting any other games?

Question:
I've noticed after installing the usrcheat.dat file for the circle pad, I noticed that none of my other games in Twilightmenu have their cheats. And the only ones with cheats are those with the circle pad cheat.

Is there any way to keep both the circle pad and regular cheats for all games or am I only stuck with the circle pad cheats?

Never mind, I figured it out. I just used r4cce

After using the alternative, the hostile hunter could not move

So nice, I've recently started to change my games from my R4 to TM++, and this works phenomenal, I just wish Fossil Fighters and FF Champions were included, Is there a possibility that the game will be compatible soon? Or maybe someone else can do it? That would be awesome

Could you possibly make one for Nicktoons Unite? The game would seriously benefit from full analog control.

There is probably an answer for this but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I'm trying to load up games with the cpad plugins and the games will not load, except for sm64. So far I've tested super monkey ball touch and roll, and the world ends with you. They both work fine when tested without the cpad cheat code enabled but they refuse to load when I enable it. SM64 works fine, though, I cannot for the life of me understand what I'm doing wrong. I launch them and they just get stuck on a white screen.

EDIT: Fixed it by repatching in TWLPatcher

Turns out the solution was right under my nose. It appears that this updated folder had a functional Spirit Tracks C-Stick cheat than the one provided first provided by shoco which worked for me. I have nothing else to say but that I am grateful for you tech savy guys helping us out to play these classics again.

Wait sorry I'm really late on this but could you explain? I tried using one of the new .dat files and the patches still wont show in the menu. Then I used r4cee to get the cpad patch back in the cheats menu. When enabled Spirit tracks still only uses 8 directions.

Is there a .xml version of the usrcheat? It´s for melonds

 

[uhhh_adam]

For some reason Tak crashes

If its not too much trouble, I was wondering if the codes for Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness and Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands could be modified so that the protagonist automatically runs when pushing the Circle Pad all the way (the same as dragging the stylus all the way across the touch screen) instead of them only walking.

Is there any possibility of more gyro patches similar to Metroid Prime: Hunters? The DSiWare title Looksley's Line Up would greatly benefit from having one. It is a very creative puzzle game where you tilt the console to look inside of the game's world at different angles to reveal hidden objects, but it's greatly hindered by its reliance on finnicky facial tracking through the camera to determine your angle. I have no idea if it'd even be possible to do something as sophisticated as mapping gyro controls to some sort of spoofed face but it'd be very very cool if it could be pulled off.

Could You make a usrcheat.dat with all widescreen patches and circle pad patches please?

 

[EmmaQF]

Hi, I tried the metroid prime hunters ones and they weren't for me but one thing I really want to do is just remap the jump to R since my pinkie lays there perfectly and there aren't any functions there in game. Could you do that ? I tried the 3DS/NDS key remapper but there is no option to put a single touch tap to a button press

Which one are not implemented?

 

[Starlight1604]

Which one are not implemented?

I know that twilight menú has all patches already but those are streched, i use extra patches to get a better imagen of the Game, in that usercheat.dat, theres are many games without the widescreen patch, some games have (like Rayman ds, Pokémon bw 1 and 2, Mario kart ds)

Any way to get c- stick camera movement for Peter Jacksons King Kong like in Dementium?
