📱 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.

✨ Autopilot Is Live

Autopilot is your in-game AI companion built to understand what’s happening in your game, take action, and help you progress.

It runs in two distinct modes, depending on the game you’re playing.

Autopilot modes

🔍 Insight Mode
Available for Generation 1 & Generation 2 games only

  • Uses direct game memory inspection for accurate state awareness
  • Knows your party, items, location, and progress
  • Performs pathfinding and planning to reach goals
  • Can actively control the game to carry out actions on your behalf
  • Enables precise, context-aware guidance and execution

This is the most advanced mode and relies on deep, game-specific integration.

👁️ Vision Mode
Available for all supported games

  • Uses screen capture and visual analysis only
  • Reads what’s visible on screen to answer questions
  • Can take basic actions based on visual understanding
  • No memory access — works universally across games

What you can do

  • Ask questions – Party status, mechanics, objectives, and progress
  • Set goals – Heal my party, go to lab building, talk to mom
  • Let it act – Autopilot can control the game when appropriate
  • Stay in control – You can step in or stop Autopilot at any time
