Man, original DS games look terrible on the 3DS, is there anything I can install that will fix this?

I was going to bring up TWPatch myself, too. @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net I will warn you that while you can see previews of the different filters, applying one takes a long-ass time, I'm talking multiple minutes, so choose wisely.

The ability to boot a DS game in its native resolution is done by holding START or SELECT while it boots up. It's actually part of the official firmware, not something added by homebrew software:

I'm very stupid :3

It will happen again

You can also just hold select while booting up a DS game and it won't scale at all, but then you get very large black borders

you can install that dog game, nintendogs. Cool game. You should play it.

What's nice is that you can scratch your ds with a stylus to transmit scritches to the cute doggerinos on the screen. It's a neat feature because it is cool

I think there is a setting in citra to render at a native resolution. But then the games look tiny with a huuuge gap between the screens. That's why I've got a DSi XL from Japan. They are really cheap and easy to mod, while giving me a native resolution big screen.

EDIT: Oops, not citra. The homebrew BIOS, I forgot it's name. Luma something?

Yeah it's luma

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

  1. Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
  2. Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.

Rules

  1. Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn't mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
  2. Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
  3. Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
  4. All site-wide rules still apply
