📱 New DS Screen Layout Defaults

Nintendo DS screen layouts are now automatic by default, adapting instantly to how you hold your device.

What’s changed

  • Portrait mode → Top / Bottom screens
  • Landscape mode → Left / Right screens
  • Auto by default – No setup required

Afterplay now chooses the most natural layout based on orientation, so DS games feel right whether you’re playing vertically or horizontally.
