Is there an app that can run in the background and take a screenshot of both screens with the press of a button? If not is this even possible?

Your best bet is to use an PC based emulator. Given it's additional processor, i'm guessing the DSTWO may technically be capable of doing that. You could ask on the supercard forums for it to be added as a feature.
The only thing I know of is Moonshell, but that only takes screenshots of Moonshell.
IIRC there are carts that have ingame menus, M3iZero I believe, that can do 'basic' stuff like cheats (and I think I heard they can open small text documents?) so it doesn't sound out of the realm of possibility... but improbable is more likely because it would have to be done at the flashcart level not application level.

Well...there IS that $3000 machine...NITRO IS Capture or something...but that is a rare thing to come by and you supposedly can only get one if you are a developer. Apart from that, I've only heard of Moonshell2 having screencapture...(though probably M3Sakura and the EzFlashV have the ability possible since both are based off of MS2)
Hmm well this would be an amazing thing because i got the model viewer working but it would be better if it would capture the screen and save it to a card so i wouldn't get banding errors (note this model is not mine i just used it for testing purposes)
If you're writing the DS homebrew program yourself, you can code in the ability to take screenshots, as there's a built-in function in libnds to do that. It will take a screenshot of the main screen (which you as the programmer have defined).
If you're trying to get screenshots of something that doesn't have that ability already coded in (such as any commercial game) then it's not going to be possible unless a flash cart maker adds the ability to their own cart. Because the DS only runs one application at a time, you're not going to see a generic "screenshot taker.nds" program that can grab screenshots of Mario Kart DS or anything like that.

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
