AKMenu-Next doesn't explicitly support Widescreen, although it may be via nds-bootstrap that allows for it. Is disabling it per game something that Twilightmenu++ lets you do?
Yes, akmenu-next does support widescreen, both the menu and the NDS games. Installing the TwlBg.cxi file in the sd:/luma/sysmodules/ folder enables it.
I no longer have Twilightmenu++ installed, I prefer akmenu-next because the interface loads much faster and I only use it for playing Nintendo DS games.
I spoke with the Twilight devs about how this is implemented, Twilight uses a whitelist to selectively enable/disable it for known widescreen supported games and it involves checking for widescreen mod, checking if the game has a supported widescreen patch and moving files around to disable it and then re-enabling it upon rebooting back to the menu.
Ah, I thought the widescreen toggle function was simpler. If that's the case, I understand perfectly.
@Coderkei The game crashed on me again, another red screen, although it was an isolated incident, not as frequent as when I had widescreen enabled.Ah, I thought the widescreen toggle function was simpler. If that's the case, I understand perfectly.
Yesterday I had widescreen enabled in a Nintendo DS game and it seemed to be working fine, but during cutscenes it would freeze and I'd get screenshots like these, so I had to turn it off.
Even so, thank you very much for this project, this simplicity for playing NDS games is much appreciated.
I've been comparing the nds-bootstrap.ini file from akmenu-next and the one from TWiLight Menu++, and it would be nice to add the ability to configure nds-bootstrap like TWiLight Menu++ does. This would especially improve compatibility with NDS games and prevent errors.
AKMenu-Next writes the INI file differently to Twilightmenu++. Twilightmenu++ has some fields in the INI that also do apply to your console, its more of a broad template. And some of them are not configurable in Twilight either and are for test/dev purposes. Also some of these fields are for loading DSiWare which AKMenu-Next doesn't support for nds-bootstrap (and it's implementation is far too complex for me to add).
Okay. Thank you very much for your attention. I'll wait for the new version
You know with AKMenu-Next 2.2.x, pico-loader 1.6.0, nds-bootstrap, and the emulator plus video plugins I can pretty confidently say the DSpico can replace all of my other flashcards. Wood UI, bult in emulator launching including GBA from slot-1, DSi SD card access, video playback, etc. It does it all. And GBARunner3 runs better than the DSTWO's GBA emulators anyway without a second CPU. This really is the best flashcart frontend/firmware AIO now.
