Are you interested in a complete replacement of TwlBg which includes all patches?

    Are you sure that's right? I know for certain the n2DS has the hardware 800px because I've used Robz's hori-hd demo app and the TWilight Updater on mine and the difference is pretty clear, I assume the o2DS doesn't have 800px in hardware because it actually just has one large LCD for both screens iirc

    The screen for the original 2DS is one screen.

    Afaik, the top screen on the original 2ds is 240*400, so it cannot display 800px, only 400px. All the other systems in the 3ds family have a 240*800 top screen tho, so these can display 800px.

    It's using the GPU to upscale the image instead of the capture card's built-in upscaler. It looks way better, but for some people it's way too blurry and not worth the compromise.

    Pretending you didn't mix up the original "toast" 2DS with the rest of the models, it is possible.

    In fact, this is the reason why GPU scale + widescreen broke, because they need special cases for the mode800 patch if enabled.
    Sadly I haven't had much luck with getting it to fully work, and unfortunately I have ran out of time, so I can't even work on it even if I wanted.

    Here is how it looks like:

    Hey mate, cheers on the all that this thing can do. It’s pretty amazing to think that my 3DS can play these games with more screen space. It’s exciting.

    Is there any way to restrict widescreen mode to only affecting the games that support it?

    Past TWiLight Menu++ versions have done that, but didn't work correctly for some users.

    The screen filter is applied to TWL_FIRM itself, so nothing else will be modified.

    1. TWL_FIRM is what runs DS(i) mode on 3DS/2DS consoles.
    2. Yes.

    You need to hack and CFW your 3DS (you can search for it on the internet how to do it), and after that you need to install TWPatch.cia into your 3DS, it'll show up in the Home Menu.

    After that you can just use the + Control Pad to move the cursor up and down, but instead of A you hold START.

    Before the patch will work, you'll have to turn off your 3DS, wait until the blue Power LED turns off, then press and keep pressing SELECT, press Power button, and hold SELECT until the screen turns on. If you did the 3DS hacking and CFW right, you should have an option to "Enable external FIRM loading". Go there, press A to make it an X, and press START to save.

    Now when you launch a DS game, it should have the filter you selected!

    Sorry for the late reply. I've done following your instructions above. But the widescreen options in Twl settings were removed. Did I do something wrong? Anyway thank you for the reply

    The widescreen option is now in the Misc settings page.

    Make sure "TwlBg.cxi" is in "sd:/luma/sysmodules/".
    If it's there, update TWiLight Menu++.
