EDIT:

IT. ACTUALLY WORKS.

TWILIGHT Menu ++ will crash, displaying some number colons on the right side of the screen,
just hold the 3DS's power button till it powers off, then turn on the 3DS again and
*boom* suddenly your 3DS games are in widescreen.

And here is the crazy part:
This stretches TWILIGHT Menu++ itself to wide, and EVEN GAMES that didn't even previously work for me.

I used kh 358/2 for the "play a game in wide" part.

crazy.

Someone sticky that mans post, make a new thread, whatever.
(I'm considering sending this to rob.. but seein as how he didn't really seem to keen to implement this at all when I asked him via email..)
I wonder if it stretches Twilightmenu as well if it would stretch 2d games that don't work with the patch too? :unsure:

Whenever I try to load a game, I always have some difficulties with the controls. The touch screen seems to be disabled in every game I've tried to load so far, and the regular ABXY buttons nor the d-pad works for two of the games I've tried too.

Did I fuck something up? What can I do to fix this?

See if touch works anywhere else in DS/DSi mode, like the DS WiFi settings or DS Download Play.

Yeah, the touch works on DS Download Play as well as on the physical cartridges of those same dumped games. The only place that the touch screen doesn't work is in the dumped DS games on my 3DS.

ok, so now i have another question, sorry for the inconvenience.
I have some speed issues with dragon quest IX. I read the FAQ section and it said to change cpu clockspeed to 1 (since i have an sd card). After doing so the game works just fine, but after playing a couple of times, it "auto sets itself" to 0 again. Do you know why this is, i hope i'm not missing something or just making a noob error. Thanks in advance

Hi! I am an oldhead that used to be really on top of things in the xbox-scene days. I have followed your guide to the T, but when I run forwarder3ds.jar I get a "file could not be run, check console for info" message (I am on macos). SO I ran it in terminal with java -jar forwarder3ds.jar and this was the error output:
Error: Could not find or load main class com.olmectron.forwarder.Forwarder3DS
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

Could someone PLEASE help me? I have spent hours on this with no luck. I have an old 3ds with cfw/luma and have been using it mostly for emulation, but I would love to play some nds games now. My nds card reader is broken (got this thing off ebay) so I will have to boot them off SD card. Really stoked to play Portrait of Ruin and DQIX.

I love all you guys and the work that you do, I used to be in the scene a lot during the ps2/original xbox days, please help an old guy out!

I can't really help with MacOS and issues with Java, however.... You do not need the forwarders to play NDS games. Personally, I would install TwilightMenu++ and place your roms direct on the SD card and run them that way. The good thing with this instead of forwarders is if there is a Patch for it within Twilight, it can run in Wide-screen and there is the option for cheats also.

I'm a bit OCD with what is available on my Home menu and only really like VC stuff or 3DS titles, plus, with the limit of 40 DS Ware on your homescreen, that can get filled pretty quick!
