I remember someone saying all romhacks need to be added manually to the database for it to work, try to go on their github page and open an issue if they could add it in.
I don't think that's a thing, maybe you're thinking of YSMenu? Or maybe RTC only being supported on specific game IDs

nope, same thing, you can only get away with the regular 2d, but picture is so small :(

Assuming I'm understanding correctly, you dislike the black borders around the screen when playing DS titles?

That's something that's no longer an issue. TWPatcher offers a patch to force a 16:10 ratio. Briefly tested it with Mario 64 DS.

Late Edit: Tested it with more games (Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin). Works just fine too!

Someone should fork GBARunner2 and rename it to GBARunner3 and then actively keep improving and supporting it.
I'm pretty sure most of GBARunner2 consists of ASM code, so chances are unlikely.
It's also why (most of the time) no one contributes to nds-bootstrap (except me and sometimes, @Pk11), as the ASM code is for searching for the SDK functions in DS(i) games to patch.

No one has gotten it to work, to my knowledge. You'll have to wait for a fix.
That's what I though. It's a pity, though, because when GBA games ARE working in the DSi, they're looking and playing great :) So far my DSi XL proved itself a great GBA player for games like Oriental Blue.

Anyway thank you for all your hard work, using a TwilightMenu is so much more convenient than flashcards. Will get one for some emulators, though, like ZXDC, as it, unfortunately, no longer maintained, so getting a DLDI patch is a no-go.

I remember some of ASM programming from my Spectrum times, and I still wonder anyone is patient enough to do it regularily. Again, than you for all this hard work. nds-bootstap already runs most of the library (aside from some hacks, but you know... hacks...)

Hello gbatemp community! Recently i've installed TwilightMenu++ on my o2ds and had so much fun emulating all of my favorite oldies.
But i've stumbled upon a problem - i don't know how to Install the Gbarunner2 (gyroscope branch) on my console. When i tried installing, it had an error saying "Error Bios not found!" Should i delete / replace the one that comes from the Twilightmenu?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
