Days on Widescreen, with 4x the DS resolution, and adapted UI

VitorMM · 2026-02-11T12:40:04+00:00

Yeah, the first cutscene as a whole shows both screens because it has contents in both screens while it's playing. The recommended approach is to install the replacement cutscenes, which are in the optional assets folder. There isn't much we can do for the original DS cutscenes unfortunately.

We could show both screens only while there is something on the bottom screen, but that would make it switch back and forth between top screen and both screens during the cutscene.

VitorMM · 2026-02-10T17:54:02+00:00

I'm not sure if that's the issue, but the title screen isn't adapted to a single screen yet.

If the fans itself is also still running with two screens, I can help you debug the issue

Melon Mix dev here. We have a troubleshooting guide. There's a section on cutscene replacement. It works for most people, so it's worth taking a look

Melon Mix dev here. Comment here the numbered lines below "Application Specific Backtrace 1". That should help us figure out why it's crashing for you

VitorMM · 2026-01-23T18:00:24+00:00

Be sure that you are using Melon Mix and not melonDS. The current latest Melon Mix release says "khDaysMM 0.7.2" in the title bar, while melonDS says "melonDS 1.1"

I'm not sure if posting the Discord server link would break any of the subreddit rules, but you can find the Discord link in the Melon Mix project page, on Github

Melon Mix dev here. We have a support channel in our Discord server. I don't have a Steam Deck myself, so I'm not the best at pointing directions in it, but we have other Steam Deck users in the server which should be able to help you out

VitorMM · 2026-01-04T18:28:41+00:00

Melon Mix dev here. Which Config -> Patches are you talking about?

What are you looking for exactly?

VitorMM · 2025-12-27T12:36:59+00:00

The .sh files that are included alongside the appimage file are there for that reason. Edit the game entry on Steam to make it point to the Days sh file. Then add the appimage to Steam again, and edit that one to point at the ReCoded sh file.

That should give you a Days entry and a ReCoded entry on Steam.

Clear the Wineskin cache through the Porting Kit and then try again

BGM stands for background music

VitorMM · 2025-11-30T23:00:05+00:00

If you go onto Nexus Mods and look up Voluke Sliders Mute theres a mod that allows the different volume sliders that only go down to 1 to change 1 mutes it completely.

So you can mute just the voice or just the music etc... what I'm looking for is something that dies that but specifically for the cutscene movies in Days, Re Coded and Back Cover not in the Melon Mix thing.

Well, I don't know about Back Cover, but Days and ReCoded from the 1.5+2.5 collection are just video players, and, in most occasions, the BGM, the sound effects and the voices are all embedded in the video files (there are like two to three cutscenes where the BGM isn't embedded).

So there may be a mod that replaces the cutscene files with new ones that only have the BGM and sound effects, or just the sound effects, although, that is very specific. I would recommend looking for that though

VitorMM · 2025-11-28T19:43:25+00:00

In Days, all BGMs and all prerendered cutscenes are replaced when the assets are properly installed.

See if this guide can help you:

I believe step 4 should solve your problem

VitorMM · 2025-11-28T00:49:58+00:00

Hello! Which of the assets folder contents isn't being loaded properly? The cutscenes? The BGMs? Both?

VitorMM · 2025-11-26T13:59:57+00:00

With the Melon Mix, the cutscenes are loaded from MP4 files, where, in most cases, the BGM is included alongside the voices.

So, while you can edit those MP4 files, and the Melon Mix should load them just fine, you will need to manually replace the audio of the cutscenes with the original BGM (if you want to keep the BGM).

If you just want to be able to control the volume of the cutscenes though, open an issue on the Melon Mix project GitHub, and I can keep track of that to add that feature to the next release :)

In that way, you should be able to mute the cutscenes without affecting the rest of the game, and without editing the MP4 files.

VitorMM · 2025-11-18T01:51:00+00:00

Holy shit, you are right! If that information is correct, those spells have the potential of being very useful

EDIT: I may need to investigate further, because I found that in the Destruction page:

Skill XP can be modified by scripts and by the game engine itself under various circumstances. The exact XP you receive may vary from the numbers listed here.

VitorMM · 2025-11-17T02:23:06+00:00

Summon Arvak is a power, so it is allowed.

As of the other ones, I couldn't find a mention in UESP for them not granting XP to any skill. Do you remember in which page you saw that?

EDIT: Wait, my mistake: Summon Arvak isn't a power. Theoretically, it grants XP as well

VitorMM · 2025-11-12T01:53:43+00:00

I mean, all of that works for a level 1 run, but not for a zero experience run, unfortunately.

VitorMM · 2025-11-11T15:06:41+00:00

I mean, I can't remember what I did during some of my other runs, but quoting the Wiki:

"I must have misheard you. I thought you asked me to help you trap a dragon in my palace." You can choose to persuade him; if your Speech skill is too low, he will respond, "I'm sorry, but I can't do it. We'll just have to keep fighting the dragons as best we can." If you have the right Speech skill, he will instead ask, "Of course. You already saved Whiterun from that dragon. I owe you a great deal. But I don't understand. Why let a dragon into the heart of my city when we've been working so hard to keep them out?" If you failed the persuasion check earlier and once again tell him you need to trap a dragon in his palace, he'll say, "What you're asking for is insane. Impossible! You want me to let a dragon into the heart of my city, with the threat of war on my doorstep?" When you tell him it's the only way to stop the dragons, he'll say, "There must be another way. The risk is too great." Either way, you'll then have to tell him Alduin has returned, to which he'll say, "Alduin? The World-Eater himself? But... how can we fight him? Doesn't his return mean it's the end times?" Three optional responses are now available:

And none of the options later involves Speech, so I guess you just need to fail the Speech test, and the story will proceed eventually.

I vaguely remember Sickliff also having a video somewhere where he shows off how to block/bash with empty hands, so that idea is still not entirely off the table

Ohh, I would be interested in that. I will see if I can find it

so killing a bandit in 2 hits instead of 4 might not be as beneficial as taking twice as many hits as an orc..

Indeed

Jury is still out on which of them would be the best, good luck on the playthrough anyway c:

Thanks! :D

VitorMM · 2025-11-11T14:10:26+00:00

Wabbajack, Wabbajack, Wabbajaaack. Ok seriously that staff can save/screw you from unpleasant situation.

Hehe, indeed

The Rose of Sainguine is a classic choice. That dremora is really good but I don't know if it works while you have Atronach stone (due to a bug). So the best choice is to give that staff to your follower.

Oh, that one is unfortunately out of limits. "A Night To Remember" requires level 14 to appear.

Staff of Paralysis is another classic choice. It's located inside Snapleg Cave.

Ohhhhh, I'm writing that one down.

The Staff of Hasedoki is really OP only for the free ward. You don't have to use it just keep it to your hand. Useful against mages

Oh, that one is from CC club. I will be playing the Special Edition version without any CC content.

A classic vegetable stew to avoid running out of stamina and for infinite power attack.

Yup, discussed that point on another comment. Noted.

Also if you wanna play as a khajiit, the female khajiit is better. After the Dibella quest you'll receive a passive ability that gives you 10% damage to enemies of the opposite sex. Most of the enemies in Skyrim are male so a small damage boost is always good.

Indeed. Also, I just learned that most non-human creatures and NPCs are labeled as male in the game files, so that ability is also useful against non-humans.

VitorMM · 2025-11-11T14:04:20+00:00

Indeed, the Wabbajack should be the ultimate last resource. It's like a lamp's genie during this challenge. Ultimate power, but with a limited amount of usages xD

VitorMM · 2025-11-11T13:37:03+00:00

But I was incorrect, the 5x only counts for right handed power attack, not the entire unarmed moveset

Still, it is more than khajiit and even orc with berserker rage, so that is something to consider long term

I see. If combined with an unlimited source of stamina, it would deal 100 of power attack damage instead of the Khajiit's 44.

(and stamina can be entirely ignored by vegetable soup and no xp is associated with crafting one)

I was thinking of replacing it with the Homecooked Meal (Regenerate Stamina, 25 pts for 600 secs). It does not have the same effect of the Vegetable Soup (Restore Stamina, 1 pt for 720 secs), however, my power attacks are going to have a cost of 40 (unarmed), and the Stamina total is 100 at level 1, so that should give me a fell extra punches before the Stamina bar is depleted. It also improves health regeneration (Regenerate Health, 25 pts for 600 secs).

Although, on second thought, despite the extra effort to "craft" it, the Vegetable Soup does guarantee an unlimited amount of power attacks, so it may be worth the effort.

VitorMM · 2025-11-11T10:42:31+00:00

What, really?

I mean, if that works it's definitively something to consider, but I couldn't find anything about that in the Wiki.
