### Preparation
|
|
- Make sure Luma's `boot.firm` is on the SD root for this to work
|
|
|
|
### Installing
|
|
1. Download [TWPatch](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/files/TWPatch.cia) and copy `TWPatch.cia` to your SD card ([GBAtemp thread](https://gbatemp.net/threads/twpatcher-ds-i-mode-screen-filters-and-patches.542694/))
|
|
1. Install `TWPatch.cia` using FBI
|
|
- You can also use Universal-Updater to install TWPatch instead of the previous two steps
|
|
1. Return to the home menu and launch TWPatch
|
|
1. Hold <kbd class="face">Y</kbd> + <kbd class="face">B</kbd> to open the patch menu and enable `Widescreen patch (384x240 16:10)`
|
|
1. (Optional!) For a less pixelated widescreen, also enable `GPU scaling (blurry, no filters)`
|
|
1. Press <kbd class="face">B</kbd> to exit the patch menu
|
|
1. Press <kbd>START</kbd> to generate a `TwlBg.cxi` file with widescreen
|
|
- If the top screen doesn't indicate that wide patch is enabled, start from step 3 again
|
|
1. Move `TwlBg.cxi` from `sd:/luma/sysmodules/` to `sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/TwlBg/` (create `TwlBg` folder, if it doesn't exist), and rename the file to `Widescreen.cxi`
|
|
1. Restart your 3DS while holding <kbd>SELECT</kbd> to open Luma3DS's configuration
|
|
1. Enable `external FIRMs and modules`, then press <kbd>START</kbd> to save and quit
|
|
1. Open TWiLight Menu++ settings, switch to the `Games/Apps settings` page, 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!
|
|
|
|
**NOTES:**
|
|
1. Do not hold <kbd>START</kbd> or <kbd>SELECT</kbd> when launching TWLMenu++, if you don't want widescreen to look glitched
|
|
1. Not every game is widescreen compatible. [Here is a list of games with widescreen support](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/blob/master/7zfile/3DS%20-%20CFW%20users/Games%20supported%20with%20widescreen.txt)
|
|
1. If you're stuck in widescreen mode in all of TWL_FIRM (including the TWLMenu++ GUI) after following this guide and launching a widescreen-compatible game, delete `TwlBg.cxi` at `sd:/luma/sysmodules/`, and [uninstall](https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/twilightmenu/uninstalling-3ds) and [re-install](https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/twilightmenu/installing-3ds) TWiLight Menu++, and re-follow the above guide
|
|
1. Most widescreen patches will only adjust 3D elements for widescreen, 2D elements (such as menus) will only be stretched
