Been a long good while since I've made a post on GBATemp publicly, but I just wanted to stop by and express the same thanks many others have in this thread! I absolutely despised how blurry the DS games look on the 3DS because of the filtering Nintendo used. It was enough to the point where I'd usually use another DS model to play the games I wanted to play despite how nice the form factor is of the 3DS and how flash carts/TWiLight Menu++ made the 3DS a really convenient 'all-in-one' system. It was the homebrew I was wishing would happen for ages. Great to see it's a reality now, and all the options are really appreciated!

Tested the patcher myself and went with Sharpen Test 1. Super Mario 64 DS already looks so much more crisp.

Thank you again, Sono!

CTR_Redshift will be included in the next version of the patcher, which is expected to come out in 1-3 weeks.

(white balance is mucked up by the camera, but to my eyes it's much more red)

Fantastic! Excellent work! There are so many great DS romhacks I've been missing out on because I can't handle the blue light eye burn. But technically you will need to call this one TWL_Redshift, no? :P

No, because it runs on the ARM11 :P The DS hardware doesn't know anything about this.

What's the point of that though? Something for Virtual Boy fans?

Why not...

But no, it's to filter out some blue lights for those whose eyes are irritated by it, or to prevent the prevention of melatonin generation due to the brain still thinking that it's not past 17h yet.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @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 @ 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 @ 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 @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
