en-US wiki twilightmenu other Playing in Widescreen How to use TWiLight Menu++ in widescreen on the Nintendo 3DS

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
  1. Download TWPatch (GBATemp thread)
    • You can also use Universal-Updater to install TWPatch
  2. In Luma config, enable external FIRMs and modules
  3. Install the TWPatch CIA
  4. Launch TWPatch
  5. (Optional!) For a less pixelated widescreen, hold Y+B, and enable GPU scale test (health hazard!)
  6. 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
  7. 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
