[RocketRobz]

How do apply those widescreen patches on a Nintendo 3ds?

Could you separate the widescreen codes from the Swapping screen codes? I want to use the first ones in MelonDS and I don't want to swap screens.

Pragma's threads was made for emulators, but it doesn't have as many codes as this one.

Game is forced to play in English because I didn't want to edit 5 times as many graphics.

How to apply the .xdelta3 patch to the rom ?

Any chance to get Dragon Quest IX working with this?

if you look hard enough, you'll find the cheat for wide screen.

Thanks for these, any chance we can get the GX one aswell ?

Hey, it might be a dumb question but I was wondering wether or not it was possible to "reverse" the widescreen patch using cheats or a rom modification ?

See, I wanted to play Chrono Trigger but obviously as it is the case for games relying on 2D elements like Fire Emblem, we cannot have a proper widescreen hack. The issue is that it just stretch awfully games that clearly can't be played that way.
Obviously I can always remove the widescreen patch to play those games and repatch it later on but patching is a bit long each time.
So is there a way to force the original aspect ratio on games when running a widescreen patched 3DS ?
I know that RTcom activated widescreen will fix that but we still do not know when such a thing might happen yet

A bit hacky and glitchy but I think no one has hacked the game before to display in widescreen.

Check the main page, cheats for this already exist.

Use this custom Luma build (https://gbatemp.net/download/luma-10-2-1-with-redshift-and-quick-switchers.35619/), and swap different TwlBg.cxi files with QuickSwitcher. You won't need to repatch the file each time, just swapping will do the trick.

I tested the Face Pilot code on my 3DS using nds-bootstrap.
The top screen looks fine, but the bottom screen is squished.

is there a widescreen code for asphalt 4 dsi Is there also a way to get the widescreen cheat for tomodachi collection English patch to work I've tried on real hardware and nothing happened or the game would crash on startup

Is there any way to make only the supported games play in widescreen on a flashcard, so the ones without 16:10 cheats won't be stretched?

Delete "TwlBg.cxi" at "sd:/luma/sysmodules/", re-follow the widescreen steps, and make sure Slot-1 SCFG and nds-bootstrap are turned on in TWLMenu++ Settings.

I have a (perhaps stupid) question. What is TwlBg.cxi and how can I aquire it?
thanks

Use an application called TWPatch, which can be downloaded using Universal-Updater.

Hey bro, ur my hero for making Twilight menu Sorry to bother u but can you implement a blue light filter feature ? it will be a life saver, for sure, when u play at play at night.
If u cant, is ok, i understand that u may be really busy with other stuff goin on. But no matter what u do, i will always admire your work

Not possible on DS/DSi. On 3DS, you can use TWPatch to activate it, but unfortunately, will revert after waking the console from sleep mode.

I don't know what am I doing wrong, but none of these codes work on any of my Pokémon games (Soulsilver, Platinum, Black/Black2)

Are you using a flashcard or TWiLight Menu++ on the console's SD card?
If the latter, did you follow this guide?
