Playing in Widescreen - Epicpkmn11/TWiLightMenu GitHub Wiki

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. Hold Y and press B.
  6. Select GPU scale test, and press B. (Ignore health hazard warning.)
  7. Press X+START to generate a TwlBg.cxi file with widescreen.
  8. 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!
NOTE: Do not hold START or SELECT when launching TWLMenu++, if you don't want widescreen to look glitched.
If the top screen isn't filled with only 8px left/right bars, then try redoing TWPatch steps, and keep trying, if still no effect.
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
