Are there any Romacks for playing Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin on the DS top screen? I don't like to strain my neck looking at the bottom screen for long period of time

Here, I made one:

Either enable cheat code 02000EFC E3C00000
Or patch the US rom (md5: 2edd57540cae45842fbd19c45a4214f9) with the attached XDELTA

Note: Stuff before title screen stays the same.
Note 2: Even though the screens are swapped, the touchscreen still works.

Sorry to be that guy, but would it be easy to also make this for Castlevania Order of Ecclesia?

I don't believe there's any essential touch functions, and the top screen looks much nicer.

Amazing, thank you! Is there some sort of code logic that can be applied to most DS games? I noticed the "E3C00000" of the code is the same for both games.

I find these helpful because I use a r4 card and don't have any homebrew on DS.

You don't actually need cheats or ROM hacks; you can just use nds-bootloader to switch the screens. When you start the game, you just hit "L+R+down" and go into the settings and switch the screens.

That's helpful for most people, but I don't have a modded DS. Also I've read there's a few minor graphical issues with the function in nds-bootstrap.

I've been running several of my games like this and haven't found any issues but that's selection bias. I am guessing someone using an action replay would be better off with a cheat, although even action replay can be used as normal flashcart with Twilight

Hate to be a pain, but is there any way you could do the same for DoS to round out the dsvania trilogy?

Sorry I should've specified lol, you can bring up the nds_bootstrap menu while the game is running by pressing L+Select+Dpad Down, then in the Options menu you can change which screen in up top

it was meant for the original poster, it wasn't meant to bring that much attention to this forum, but thank you anyway for looking into it also.
