Enhance Your Gaming Experience: Adding Custom NDS Overlays to ArkOS on the R36S

If you’re looking to elevate your gaming experience on the Nintendo DS emulator in ArkOS, especially on the R36S device, you’re in for a treat! The default overlays provided may not provide the ideal screen real estate, often leaving users with frustratingly small display options. Fortunately, adding custom overlays is a straightforward process that can vastly improve your gameplay experience. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to successfully add and switch between custom NDS overlays, ensuring you get the most out of your retro gaming setup.

Understanding the Need for Custom Overlays

The Nintendo DS emulator used in ArkOS comes with default overlays that, while functional, don’t maximize screen space effectively. Many users find themselves playing with limited visibility due to these constraints. By implementing custom overlays, you can significantly enhance your visual experience, providing larger screens that make gameplay more enjoyable and immersive.

What You Will Need

• A Windows 10 PC for downloading files.
• The ArkOS SD card is inserted into your computer.
• Access to GitHub for downloading custom overlays.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Custom NDS Overlays

1. Downloading Custom Overlays

First, you need to find reliable custom overlays. We recommend starting with Castlevania and Pokémon CPU overlays as they offer the best screen real estate:

1. Open your web browser and search for “ROS NDS overlay” on Google.
2. Click on the GitHub link from the top results.
3. Scroll down to locate the custom overlays section.
4. Download the recommended overlays by clicking on their respective names.

2. Extracting Files

Once the downloads are complete:

1. Navigate to your Downloads folder.
2. Extract both downloaded overlay files using extraction software (e.g., WinRAR or 7-Zip).

3. Transferring Overlays to the SD Card

Next, you’ll need to transfer these overlays to your ArkOS SD card:

1. Insert your ArkOS SD card into your computer.
2. Open the SD card directory and navigate to easy ROMs > Nintendo DS > backgrounds.
3. Copy the extracted overlay files into the backgrounds folder.

4. Eject the SD Card

After transferring, safely eject your SD card and reinsert it back into your R36S device.

Switching Between Overlays

Now that you’ve successfully added the new overlays, it’s time to see them in action:

1. Launch the Nintendo DS emulator on your R36S.
2. Select the desired game from your library.
3. To switch overlays, press R2, which allows you to toggle between your newly installed overlays.

Adjusting Screen Settings

For optimal viewing, you might want to adjust your screen settings within the emulator:

1. Press the left thumbstick to open the emulator menu.
2. Navigate to Options > Video Options.
3. Find the Screen Swap option and select your preferred layout.
4. Don’t forget to save your changes before exiting!

Reverting to Default Overlays

If at any point you wish to revert to the original overlays:

1. Simply eject your SD card again and connect it to your computer.
2. Delete the newly added overlay files from the backgrounds folder.
