Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

[RocketRobz]

nothing changed. would TWPatcher being effecting this, i remember using it to try different filters on ds mode.

nope

 

[DSoryu]

nope

I have the same issue, the only way I get it to work is to manually put the patch in the sysmodule folder of luma, but it stretches every game, even unsupported ones. I have tried to reinstall TWilightMenu but I can't seem to make it work like it is intended to.

(if the screen still appears stretched, try creating a blank wideCheatData.bin in <sdcard>:\_nds\nds-bootstrap).
also where did you place the cxi?

The problem I have is playing supported games but in a specific language, where widescreen doesnt work, ie: Pokemon Heartgold (E)(Spanish),

In sd:\luma\sysmodules\TwlBg.cxi

This is the "normal" method to get patches working, but it should be supported from TwiLightMenu directly.

But nevermind, I just found out that the updated Twilight menu must be installed manually, because updater can't grab it, I'll try and report back my result.

How would I go about getting widescreen working with Drayano's Pokemon ROM Hacks? Or ROM Hacks in general?

can confirm. manually installing the latest release fixed it.

v9.0.4

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++.
Please do the manual method of updating, as the TWLMenu++ Updater is unable to update to this version properly.

What's new?

• Sanity checks have been added for widescreen launch.
  It checks if a custom `TwlBg.cxi` file in `sd:/luma/sysmodules` is backed up, if the wide cheat has been copied successfully, and if the Widescreen TwlBg file has been moved to `sd:/luma/sysmodules` successfully.
  If any of those fail, the game will play in 4:3.

Bug fix

• Minor fix to the file copy code.

Manually updating fixed everything for me as well

Hello.

Thank you for the update.All runs perfect and smooth.

By the way,since the last 2-3 Updates I have noticed,after making an In Game Reset (L+R+B+DOWN) it takes a long time to get back to TWiLight Menu.

White Screen and then

15 seconds on the DSi XL
22 seconds on the blue DSi
20 seconds on the red DSi

I made also an "fresh" Install on all 3 devices.

Do you have any Idea what maybe causes this ?

Thank you.

Every game I've tested including translated, ROM hacks and Japanese titles are all working in full screen with my Acekard 2i + N3DS XL. Thanks!

I have manually updated but unfortunately, I am still getting stretched widescreen

Seems to be just an nds-bootstrap issue at this point.
Try downloading the latest nds-bootstrap from here: https://github.com/ahezard/nds-bootstrap/releases

Still nothing, however applying the widescreen cheat from here https://gbatemp.net/threads/widescreen-cheats-for-ds-games-on-3ds.543212/ to the ROM manually has made the game display properly for me so the cheat just isn't applying for some reason normally.

I don't really recommend that.
Try a full reinstall of TWiLight Menu++, but keep the "Widescreen.cxi".

That didn't help. There was already a "wideCheatData.bin".

How does one fully uninstall TWiLight Menu++?

How does one fully uninstall TWiLight Menu++?

Uninstall the TWiLight Menu++ titles from the title list, using FBI, and then delete the nds-bootstrap folder and files in `sd:/_nds`, and finally, delete `TWiLightMenu` in `sd:/_nds`.

Completely reinstalled (got the popup asking which DS model I was using and all the intro videos), still have stretched widescreen
