Any chance someone could make a 16:10 code for Captain America Super Soldier? It's another Griptonite joint but one that was strangely omitted here despite even more obscure releases getting one.

(It'd also be nice to see some widescreen codes for Vicarious Visions' Transformers games)

Is this hosted somewhere like github?
Is there a way to autoupdate them from the 3DS or does TWLMenu use latest version each update?

I know that this is built into TWLMenu++ now, and I tried using it for SM 64 DS (enabled 16:10 widescreen by hitting Y in twilight), but to my eyes it just looks like the screen is stretched rather than actual 16:10 scaled. You notice it on the startup image for the game (which of course is not 3d). Is it still working correctly and that's just what happens when non3d images are displayed? I think somethings off, but I'm sure it's all installed correctly and I have "load external FIRMs and modules" enabled, along with game patching.

Yes, that's normal. Only 3D fields will be expanded, and 2D screens will be stretched.

This game required three ASM patches for proper widescreen. The first one does the main widescreen. The second one patches the 3D to 2D positioning scale. The third one patches the culling plane widths.
Sorry for the tag so long after your message, but I was wondering how to change the E3A0109F values to something that match other aspect ratios. I know for 16:9 it's E3A01090 instead, but I can't figure out how to change that for 21:9 or 32:9 for instance.
Is there a simple way to calculate it? Thank in advance for the help!

Fixed balloon popping games. Can someone please test this code.
How do I get this to work? I added this code to a usrcheat file and it plays in 4:3 no matter what I try.

Is there a dat file or something that includes all this codes for TwiLight Menu++?
TWiLight Menu++ has all of the widescreen codes in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/extras/widescreen.pck", and they're automatically enabled once you launch a game with the 16:10 aspect ratio setting.

I thought that in addition of enabling 16:10 I also had to apply cheat codes to make the game render in proper 16:10, and not only stretched graphics.

EDIT

BTW, is it normal that, for example in Metroid Prime Hunters, the graphics are stretched? Or am I doing something wrong?
