Homebrew DS Upper screen - Can it stretch to 3DS size?

[EarlAB]

Title. I just want to know because Phantom Hourglass Upper Wide Screen sounds like it might be even better.
Even if it messes it up in a non-gamebreaking way.

 

[VinsCool]

Nope, it's not possible.

Above answer is wrong. It's possible but requires a TWL_FIRM modification

 

[EarlAB]

I don't trust ye Vinny, sorry. :3
I'll wait until somebody else replies.

Nobody has figured this out, so technically, it isn't possible.

Get on your ass and make it possible slave. :3

My question is why you would even want to.

That's not how software gets made, fucker. >:^(

Because I have an Old 3DS, non-XL and I kinda ripped my limited edition DSiXL in half...

You don't even deserve this hardware.

Kinda ripped it?
Tape it

But if you really ripped it... ay yai yaie

 

[EarlAB]

It was an accident. They were so fragile.
Anyways, I gotta go for now.

And yes, it was about 3 years ago. The wires and everything were mangled.

You seem to confuse existence and possibility. It is possible, but it would require work.

Was this proven possible though? I dare to ask.

It is, just like AGB firm editing is to make the screen brighter

This reminds me of the Gameboy Advance: when playing Gameboy Color games, L/R would toggle stretched screen mode.

Something similar is probably possible (after all, the display is already scaled, we'd just be changing the aspect ratio), but since I have zero experience actually doing something like this, I shouldn't speak for those who can. My guess is that there's just some constants in TWL_FIRM that correspond to the scaled size, but who knows, it might not be that simple.

My question is why you would even want to.

Honestly, I don't get why people like versions of older games (VC or backwards compatibility) running at a stretched out aspect ratio. Stuff like DS/GBA stretching on 3DS is fine, but it'd look awful stretched to full screen.

It is if you're also giving money to the dev via Patreon or some other shitty service similar to it
