This post includes the link, which worked for me just now: https://gbatemp.net/threads/twpatch...ilters-and-patches.542694/page-9#post-8712553 - the link is to a file on sono dot 9net dot org. Is this the one you're having trouble with?

@Sono uhhh I'm guessing the filters dont work with widescreen so how do I remove the filters completely?

You can't apply both yet. Either widescreen or filters.

As for reverting to stock, just delete /luma/sysmodules/TwlBg.cxi and /luma/sysmodules/AgbBg.cxi if they exist.

found a way to apply both filter and widescreen
fist you use your cia patcher to create a patched twlbg.cxi and then you use your widecreen patcher buuuut you rename the twlbg.cxi to section0.bin and pacth it. It works

also also Is there a way to manually patch agb.firm and make it widescree as well or does it work with your widescreen patcher as well?

It's not possible yet. It'll apply on the Y axis, but not the X axis.

It's undocumented, but if you replace "asd" with "agb", and use section0 from AGB_FIRM instead of TWL_FIRM, then you'll get widescreen GBA stretched to 400x240.

sorry for lots of questions but how do I dump agb_firm or section0 inside it?

It's almost exactly the same as you do with TWL_FIRM, except AGB_FIRM is located at 00000202 instead of 00000102.

so I dumped exefs.bin from 00000102 then I renamed it to section0.bin and put it into the file where the widescreen patcher was then I prepared a new bat file only, as you said, I changed the asb to agb then run the bat file. Then a cmd prompt opened and closed very quicly but no new files were added to the folder

102 is TWL_FIRM, you need 202, which is AGB_FIRM

As for the quick closing, add the below line to the bat file:
@IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 @pause

Again, it's EXACTLY the same, except you use 202 instead of 102, and you replace "asd" with "agb".

alright, I redumped the file and I'm sure its the correct one. I renamed it. Created the .txt file said
''mkpatch_b agb 1010''
named it wide.bat ran it.... didn't worked so I ran the mkpatch_b.exe and it worked and gave me a twlbg.cxi file

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

like is that the correct file @Sono

No, for GBA it has to be AgbBg.cxi, and you HAVE TO pass agb as the parameter.

Are you interested in a complete replacement of TwlBg which includes all patches?

Yes, I don't care how broken it will be!

No, I don't want to use even more broken stuff

Yes, but only in GBA mode, because I play DSi exclusives

No, because I only use DS and DSi mode
