@Robz8 so I ran the wide-screen patcher and every game that has wide-screen ends up with a whole load of numbers down the right side of the screen aby idea what is happening and how to fix.

How do I get widescreen working. Do I just need "Widescreen.cxi" in Luma3DS? Im unsure what I need to do for this

I followed the guide in the OP and its not done it for me. Unsure what that means. I generated the cxi for sure and load external FIRM is on.

And I thought you needed the cheat codes so I edited USRCHEAT.DAT, but thats also to no avail.

I used the updater on N3DS and while it showed the 9.0.3 release as available, and downloaded it, the settings screen still says 9.0.2

Got my lazy ass up and finally installed TWiLight++ on my N3DS-XL

After reading as much as possible i still have a few questions:

- How to return to DS Menu from GBA (gbarunner2) play? (R+L+DOWN+B does not work)
- [Optional]: Can anybody explain how i can use cheat files for GBA?

- Can I select the SD from the Flashcard in my 3DS, so i can use it as external storage for NDS roms, Without booting the Flashcard in slot1, i just want access to the SD (R4 SDHC GOLD Pro RTS 2017 (xxx.r4isdhc.com)) so i can select the foler with NDS roms
[EDIT]
Seems this function only works on real R4Ultra/Acekard2(i) if i'm correct ???)
[End EDIT]

- Can i prevent the last rom played showing in the DS Menu, so it always goes to the folder selection/R4/Acekard (whatever theme you selected) Menu?
- Can i use usercheat file from r4 on this to enable cheat codes??? and where do i place it?

(That's it for now :D )
Thanks ;)

[EDIT]
I included a batch file to run once you have exefs.bin in the same folder as mkpatch_b.exe
Just place wide.bat into the same folder as mkpatch_b
Once you obtained and placed exefs.bin in the same folder
run wide.bat, it will do the renaming and running mkpatch_b.exe
in the end you have your widescreen.cxi with onscreen what to do with it

(Yeah, it's just for those lazy ppl like me:D , it is stupid, but he, when it's in the first post, it's just that easier for those that have to set it up , héhé )
(there is no error checking if the "exefs.bin" really is in the folder, was to lazy and my batch scripting experience is to far away to do it so out of my head)

For macOS users: 3DS/2DS: Playing in Widescreen (Windows only)

You can do this tutorial in Crossover Free and it works perfectly for me.

1... Follow Part 1

1. Download Crossover free
2. Open mkpatch_b.exe with Crossover
3. Select Bottle choose windows 10 64 bit
4. Choose: Unknown in list
5. Continue and install
5. Go inside the C Hardware.
6. Make a folder inside Program Files. and follow the windows steps.
7. When starting Command Choose the Wide.bat.

Eventually you'll get profit!!

I can always made a video how to do it if someone doesn't follow it.

Is "Widescreen.cxi" in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/TwlBg"?

Try re-downloading the patcher, and run "wide.bat" again, and copy the remade/updated .cxi file to "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/TwlBg", and rename it to "Widescreen.cxi".
nothing changed. would TWPatcher being effecting this, i remember using it to try different filters on ds mode.
