Requires an Old/New Nintendo 3DS or 2DS console.

Preparation

  • Make sure Luma's boot.firm is on the SD root for this to work.
  • If you used TWiLight Menu++ Updater or Universal-Updater to update, please install the latest TWiLight Menu++ CIAs using FBI.
  1. Download TWPatch (GBATemp thread).
  2. In Luma config, enable external FIRMs and modules.
  3. Install the TWPatch CIA.
  4. Launch TWPatch.
  5. Press X+START to generate a TwlBg.cxi file with widescreen.
    • If the top screen doesn't indicate that wide patch is enabled, start from step 4 again.
    • If widescreen still doesn't work, wait for RTCom-activated widescreen to be released.
  6. In the TWiLight Menu++ settings, switch the page to Misc settings, and set Screen Aspect Ratio to 16:10.
    • This can be done per-game as well.

You're all done! Enjoy your DS games in widescreen!

NOTE1: Every game/app in DS(i) mode will run in widescreen, even the games that aren't compatible with widescreen.
For this to be fixed so only the widescreen-compatible games run in widescreen, wait for RTCom-activated widescreen to be released.

NOTE2: Do not hold START or SELECT when launching TWLMenu++, if you don't want widescreen to look glitched.
If you don't see the screen aspect ratio setting, wait for RTCom-activated widescreen to be released.

Not every game is widescreen compatible. We have created a list of games with widescreen
