Just redownloaded the first Professor Layton. Unfortunately, the touch screen seems to fail at random times, so I'm unable to touch anything on the screen with the stylus. Then it mysteriously works again, and then not. However, it worked before, so I'm not really sure what's going on. Using CycloDS firmware 2.3

Probably Anti-Piracy, seeing as the CycloDS/iEvo haven't been updated for ages.

It doesn't sound like anti-piracy...

Does this happen on any other games?
I don't know. Most of the games I play don't use the touch screen, so I can't say.
As sora asked, does this happen on any other game ?

Try calibrating your touch screen ( i dunno if it's there in DSi )
D'oh. Haven't thought of that. Hope it fixes things.

Your touch layer may be going bad. They're not too difficult to replace if you're good with your hands. But if you have the resources to do so, I would try another touch screen game on this cart (Just download Colors! DS homebrew), then test the Layton game on a different card.

All you need to replace the touchscreen on a DS Lite. There is a sticky how-to in one of the DS sections (Hardware and Accessories, maybe?) showing very detailed (with pictures!) how to do a touch screen replacement.

Unfortunately, I don't trust my hands enough to do so :P. I really hope it's just my flashcart that's acting up...

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless

    the booty boogie from (once again) the donkey kong country cartoon could also be a good song to sing while playing sea of thieves
