      I’m trying to put the top/bottom half of the DS screen somewhere to the side of a much larger screen so I can see everything at once. To clarify I am aware of drastic allowing the vertical and single screen options but those just don’t work for me (This is also all on a Pi 3 B+ updated to the current version)

        Please send a photo of how it's displayed and draw how you want it.

          @SPiNNiX This is how it looks right now 9899870A-3E43-4E7E-9614-4045AF854361.jpeg
          And this is how I would like it to look (obviously without the fancy background graphics and all that) D4B2C0FC-6938-4F39-88ED-6C1BCB05D5CB.jpeg

            Looks like a shader...

            As you use Drastic... could you send the config file of the emulator and just in case the one of lr-desmume (maybe they have a function for it).

              @SPiNNiX I’m only a month into having the pi so hopefully it’s not to much to say I have no idea how to send those config files. Sorry about that

                I don't have a Pi right with me, I will provide later some commands to run.

                  @Gdavis have you tired this game on demume, might run slow as the emulator needs work for rpi4 or something, anyways drastic don't have this kind of features, demume does(I think), what I do is use an extra button to switch screens and bring like a menu,might not be the best? But this way I get a bigger game play screen.
                  I did hear we might get a drastic in libretro so might get this type of menu/feature we want, just need time and hope we do, if I find any thing to help you, I'll let you know.

                    I am not familiar in any way with NDS emulation, sorry. I can work on a Pi on Tuesday to see where you can locate the config files. Do you have a SSH server running on your Pi?
