Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

[Lunick]

Are you using fastboot3DS, or boot9strap?

Definitely boot9strap.

 

[RocketRobz]

Definitely boot9strap.

Hold SELECT when powering on your 3DS console.
What does Luma say it's booted from?

Booted from SD via B9S

Hmm...
Are you sure you followed each step correctly for widescreen?
If so, are you on the latest Luma version (v10.0.1)?

I've followed these steps in the first post 100%, all files are in the correct location and I have the latest TWiLight Menu++ according to the updater

It does seem I have Luma 9.1 though so I'll update to the latest version and get back to you although I'm not sure how that would effect widescreen patches not loading in DS mode?

Do we have a list a games currently supported in wide screen?

Updated to latest Luma, had no effect. Basically what I am seeing is the equivalent of the second image in this post rather than the proper third image https://gbatemp.net/threads/sharp-ds-i-mode-scaling-filters.542694/page-26#post-8752132

v9.0.3

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++.
Please do the manual method of updating, as the TWLMenu++ Updater is unable to update to this version properly.

Widescreen support has been added for these games (115 -> 201):

• Assassin's Creed - Altair's Chronicles (Europe)
• Assassin's Creed II - Discovery (Europe)
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Ring of Fates (Europe)
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Echoes of Time (Europe)
• Final Fantasy IV (Europe)
• Kingdom Hearts - 358-2 Days (Europe)
• Kingdom Hearts - Re-coded (Europe)
• Phantasy Star 0 (Europe)
• Pokémon - Diamond/Pearl Version (Europe)
• Pokémon - Platinum Version (Europe)
• Pokémon - HeartGold/SoulSilver Version (Europe)
• and more...

Check the widescreen .txt file for the list of games.

What's new?

• Manual: GBARunner2 page has been updated!

Bug fixes

• When launching a game in widescreen, if `sysmodules` folder is not found in `sd:/luma`, the folder will be created, so `Widescreen.cxi` will be loaded successfully.
• As GBARunner2 reads `bios.bin` from `sd:/gba`, the GBA BIOS is now checked there as well.
• Launched Slot-1 cards using Direct method now always uses 48khz sound frequency, in order to fix the bug where using 32khz causes sound to not work.
• Saturn theme: Fixed positioning for save messages.

You no longer need to hold L for the following games to work

• Pokemon Platinum (Random crashes fixed)
• Rockman ZX/MegaMan ZX

Also... instructions on how to play in widescreen, have been added to the first post!
Please update to this version first, if you haven't done so yet.

Seems like nds-bootstrap isn't up to date.
Try updating nds-bootstrap as well.

The updater isn't showing the release version with a green icon but it does have the nightly with a green icon, should I download that? Also now downloading the above updated TWiLight Menu++

You should download both release and nightly.

 

[Lunick]

You should download both release and nightly.

Downloaded 9.0.3 of Twilightmenu, 0.22 Release Bootstrap and latest Nightly. Still no change in image.

Is there a "wideCheatData.bin" file in "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap"?
If not, is there a "widescreen" folder with .bin files inside, in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu"?
Or if there is a "wideCheatData.bin" file, your ROM might not be a clean one.

Any idea on Wii's functionality? Most for PKMN games...???

No news on that.

No news on that.

Would it really be possible? :º

Inside "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap" are two folders "fatTable" and "patchOffsetCache". I don't see a "wideCheatData.bin".

Inside "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu" I see a folder called "widescreen" with files in it like "A4PE-5B28.bin"

 

[RocketRobz]

Yeah. Soft-reset just needs to be fixed.

Create a dummy "wideCheatData.bin" in "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap", then try launching the game again.

Just double checking, by dummy do you just mean a blank text file renamed to that?

well then... I'll continue hoping so...
