[@Munky332]

Also, I made a CIA for Pokemon Emerald, however I notice there's something odd going on with the widescreen implementation I'm guessing? the screen sort of cuts off at the bottom and loops over, its off by like 5 pixels on first load. I noticed that pressing home, which brings up the menu on the bottom screen, causes the entire picture to shift up by about 5 pixels. Sometimes I can repeatedly smash home and it'll shift the whole screen. eventually I can keep doing this until its re-centered, but its still annoying... Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this, or if there's a fix? Does NSUI rely on twilight menu at all?
