Homebrew TWPatcher - DS(i) mode screen filters and patches

I'm sure I've done reinstalling the patch and updating my twillight, but this is what I've got xD

Make sure you are not using the 09/03 patcher as Widescreen is broken in that version. Make sure you set the Widescreen in the settings section.

To my knowledge the experimental build only breaks GPU + Widescreen, MTX-based widescreen should still work

I could never get widescreen to work with that version in either the games nor the menu.

I remember testing and realizing that GPU + wide doesn't work, but wide only did.

Though to be fair, I should be fixing it instead of "flexing my mouth", sort of speak

Definitely.

Oops, I forgot to tell to enable widescreen by holding X before pressing START to patch

I did that. And as you can see, I'm getting an issue like the last pic I sent what's the problem?

What version of the patcher are you using?

What version of the patcher are you using?

I don't know. How do I check the version of it?

 

[ccfman2004]

I don't know. How do I check the version of it?

It should be on the screen when you launch the patcher. Take a picture of both screens after launching the patcher.

Did you make sure that Enable External FIRM is checked in Luma3ds settings by holding select when powering on the system. Also where is the .cxi located and what is it named?

As proven by the earlier TWLMenu++ screenshot, the .cxi is in the right location, and has the right name.
TWiLight Menu++ just assumes widescreen if enabled, regardless if the CXI contains it or not.

 

[ccfman2004]

Must be something with settings being used in the patcher.

I wanna test on flashcard but tutorial to use?

Yes, I did enable External FIRM in Luma3ds settings. The cxi is named TwlBg.cxi and located in folder luma/sysmodules/ but the result is like the top screen being cropped.
I also tried to rename the cxi to Widescreen.cxi and moved it to _nds/TWiLightMenu/twlBg/ but the result is I lost widescreen option in twilight settings.
I'm sorry for my bad english

The Widescreen.cxi is no longer used. If the screen is being squished, it means that the Widescreen patch is not being enabled when creating the TwlBg.cxi. I had that issue with the 09/03/2020 version. Try the attached version. It's the one that worked for me.

Still not working even I deleted everything then installed the latest of every twilight patch

What is it that people like about the widescreen apart from it filling the top screen?

I tried it out and found it just looked off, especially on games that are using both screens with something passing through like say Arkanoid and even in other games it didn't look as good as the regular display.
