I typed that, but no text appeared. Did I do it wrong?

If you open PowerShell as Admin, then type

cd "C:/folder/where/desmumar/is"

and then proceed to type

.\DeSmuMAR.exe

it should then provide you with a log of text. If so, what does it state?

Understood, thanks.

Quite odd. Perhaps you are needing to install .NET Core 3.1 Runtime: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/3.1

Just tried that; Same result. My laptop is brand-new, so maybe there's something else I haven't installed?

I'm just curious, so I tried to redownload Desmume through Desmumar,

There's no "DeSmuME.exe" next to DeSmuMAR, want to automatically download the latest Dev build? (y/n)
yDownloading...
Fetching API Data of AppVeyor: zeromus/desmume
 + Obtained
 + Job ID ihjh5nqrcgm4bv64 discovered
Downloading DeSmuME-VS2019-x64-Release.exe Job Artifact...
 - Failed! A Web Exception occured: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
Failed to download DeSmuME, closing DeSmuMAR...

I'm guessing there's something wrong with the Desmume's artifact links.. maybe,
Know nothing abut Appveyor-thingy, I'm just guessing though.

I'm really not sure then

Yes, so, AppVeyor only stores artifacts for each commit for 1 month. https://www.appveyor.com/docs/packaging-artifacts/#artifacts-retention-policy

The last commit was 1 month ago, hence right now, there's no pre-compiled builds available for download so the script fails to find one

So, I decided to use the Retroarch version, and I'm trying to figure out which aspect ratio I need to make both screens 16:9. I guessed it was 16:18 (8:9). That wasn't a preset ratio, so I used the custom ratio to set it to 640x720. Is this correct? I just wanted to check, because it does look a bit off, but that might just be the widescreen hack I used.

If you're setting an Aspect Ratio (not resolution) then using resolutions as your aspect ratio is just being inefficient. E.g. 1920x1080 is the same as 16x9, innefficient. Anyway, I always recommend people to use the aspect ratio 16:10, regardless what system they are on as it provides much cleaner linear pixel scaling compared to 16:9.
16/9: 1.77777777778* repeating
16/10: 1.6

Not what it does, but, imagine upscaling pixels by a factor 1.77777777778* repeating compared to a clean 1.6

Here's an example of the inefficient non-linear pixel scaling that can happen in odd cases like this where either the aspect ratio is non-linear, or the window combined with the aspect ratio is non-linear (aka window is slightly too long or not long enough by even 1 pixel, or the aspect ratio used in the cheat is off by even the smallest amount)

jsut found this thread and tried everythin. my problem is when ever i startDeSmuMAR it jsut isntantly closes on me. its in admin mode and in the right folder

Can anyone post the codes for Pokémon games (Eur) in 16:10 aspect ratio? I want to play them in my Twilight Menu ++ with widescreen mode activated and see how they look! Thanksss

 

[ReveriePass]

Is there any way to use this to force X432R into widescreen?

 

[UppityPython]

Is it possible to make Pokémon B/W 16:9 but not have it affect the 2D art? Dialogue boxes, battle scenes, etc…? Just curious!

Can somebody convert it to USA region? Pretty please

anyone have a code for kingdom hearts recoded (U) widescreen?

 

[rapha99]

Dragon Quest IV (J) - in 16:10 so as to prevent non-linear pixel upscaling

I also wanted to ask if there was a way to prevent UI elements, text boxes, menu screens, etc. from stretching with a code like this. Thanks!

There are codes for that game in the widescreen DS-on-3DS thread.
They're 16:10, though, but to change them to 16:9 you only have to replace 0000199A by 00001C72.

Like this:

16:9 Widescreen for 3DS
9202A810 00001555
1202A810 00001C72
D2000000 00000000

I hadn't tested it, so I have no idea if it will work well on a DS emulator (sometimes DS-on-3DS widescreen codes alter other things, like swapping screens, to adapt it better to 3DS)
