Hacking Circle Pad patches for Super Mario 64 DS and other games (in TwilightMenu with TWPatcher and RTCom)

I bought a CPP XL on Amazon after hearing about and watching videos of their adaptation of DS games to work with the second analog stick. It arrived and I discovered that it doesn't work with CPP, only with the New 3DS, I feel devastated.

I think since the cpp is a different piece of hardware the ds games cannot see it but can see the n3ds cstick since its built into the console. But look on the bright-side games like Majora's Mask 3d and Kid Icarus uprising are way better with the cpp.

Howdy Shoco! I have some patch requests if you're still taking em!
Can I please get a cpad camera control patch for Call of Duty: MW3: Defiance, Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, and MechAssault Phantom War?
Also can I please get a analog input controls patch for Sideswiped? I love that game B)

Can you do Lufia next? That would be a game changer. Awesome patch, btw

Hello Shoco! I've tried some of your patches and they are awesome. Thanks sharing them.
If you still accept requests, I would love to have an analog control patch for Diddy Kong Racing DS if possible. (Loved the N64 versions I wanna try the DS remake with proper controls).
Again, thanks a lot for the great work!

And there has to be non-widescreen TwlBg.cxi in the "sysmodules" folder, otherwise the games without widescreen support won't work (with these CPad mods).

This is important. To make everything work right I had to use TWL patcher twice: once for the widescreen patch (the one file that must be moved from sysmodules to TwlBg and renamed to widescreen.cxi) and once for the standard 4:3 look for ds and dsi games (to leave in sysmodules as it is). This way, when I want the 16:10 effect TWL refers to widescreen.cxi and for every other instance (cartridge, dsiware and TWL menu) it stays in 4:3 without force-stretching to widescreen.

Hello! It's possible to modify the sensitivity of the cstick on the cod games? I think it's a little too fast, especially when aiming snipers... Thanks!
Edit: How did you even map the cstick to the camera rotation? It can't be a normal abxy mapping...

I patched Zelda PH and Zelda ST with the D-Pad xdelta patches. Now I can't find the CirclePad cheats for them in TW menu. I tried editing UsrCheat.dat with the r4cce tool but while old C-pad patches still work for the previous games, it doesn't seem to register the patched Zelda DS games under their original game IDs...

Did anyone else make Zelda work with D-pad patch AND the Circle Pad cheats?

You may need to update the game ID (replacing or duplicating the original game entry) in R4CCE to match the new patched version - there's a […] button that loads an NDS file to the right of the ID boxes:

I think this is it, but how do I find out what the Game ID is, for the patched rom?

You load the patched ROM with the […] button and it appears in the boxes to the left of the button.
