Homebrew Hori-HD Image Gallery - Demonstration of the 800px wide mode

[Rahkeesh]

cp2 runs on 3ds?

Runs pretty well in Retroarch on New3DS, yes. (Some branch of FBA I think...) No 800px mode though.

Smudgy CPS2 in the correct aspect ratio would at least be an option. Right now you are practically locked into a fat 16:10 AR or just completely dropping pixels to squish it to 4:3.

Holy grail would be applying this to GBA games, for a perfect 3x horizontal upscale (while still doing 1.5x vertical scale).

Is there any way to modify the source code of the hori viewer to add your own png files? How would I do this?

If you have no coding knowledge, then just simply replace the included .png files with your own.
If you do have some coding knowledge, I suggest looking in "main.cpp", and see what's going on.

For graphics, check in "assets/gfx/" for the game logos, and "assets/gfx_gameshots/" for the 800px screenshots.
.t3s files are included, which contain the path to the respective .png file, and also allow the image(s) to be converted to a 3DS image format called .t3x.

How do I set everything up to compile the source code?

Install devkitPro, along with the included 3DS tools.

Are there any examples of homebrew games that utilize this other than Mario 64 60fps? It looks great in motion

have a look at this post:

This seems to be a way for games to use the 3D resolution without the 3D effect. (resulting in a 800px mode?)

Have you tried it? I haven't, that's why I am curious on how the results compare to a "real" 800px mode...

Yes, i have tried it. It only makes the image a 3d image in 2d, so its like in the camera photo channel when you turn on 3d with a 2d image, with the image getting a weird look to it, where viewing angles create this vertical dark line on the screen if viewed at the wrong angle.

For homebrew apps, the source code just needs to be modified.
For commercial games, it needs to be reverse-engineered.

I know I'm super late, but I'm curious.

For games that render 3D (say, for example, Minecraft n3DS Edition, which doesn't normally use the 3D slider at all) would it be possible, with a patch or a cheat, to force the game to render in 800px?

It may be possible.

It might cause a performance hit - usually there's a reason why games don't have 3D support. Hyrule Warriors Legends for example locks out 3D on O3DS.

I'd love to see it, at the cost of performance or otherwise. I'd bet optimizations in other aspects of the game could, in theory, compensate for any blow to the performance that running in 800px causes, at least to an extent. Mods for MC3DS are of particular interest to me, although I know about as close as possible to nothing about making them myself.
