I don't think the screen is pressure sensetive... And if so, I don't think the DS will even notice if you put something as lite as a stylus on it, and I don't think it can handle to much pressure...oORYUOo said:Well I read somewhere that the touch screen is pressure sensative, would you be able to mod it to weigh...stuff? Like a digital scale. BTW Wassup everyone nice to join the communit
What about colors? (or whatever it's name is)saxamo said:Yeah, the screen is not sensitive to diff. pressures. The touch screen has an on/off sort of configuration where when you touch a point on the screen, it registers as making contact, and when you let go, the contact is broken. Sorry!
The parents of this boy think the reason being was he was playing to many violent video games like grand theft auto.CPhantom said:Lol, I can see the headlines now:

So imo it's kinda unusefull...
DanTheManMS said:The DS screens are technically capable of pressure sensitivity, but with a few minor caveats:
1. Not all DS systems have the same pressure-sensitivity. This is why the Colors! application has a calibration feature. Before it had this, I could never get the application to paint more than a very light outline while other DS users complained of it being overly-sensitive.
2. Due to this, you will NEVER see pressure-sensitivity in a commercial DS game. The touchscreen is controlled by the ARM7, and third-party developers are not allowed to modify the ARM7 at all, only the ARM9. The official ARM7 binary only recognizes two states: touched and not touched. It doesn't register sensitivity at all.
Due to the lack of standardized pressure thresholds on different DS units, a scale would not really be all that feasible.
Really? That's too good!Sweater Fish Deluxe said:but testing showed that I couldn't get the screen to register my tongue no matter how hard I licked.
Let me guess, you were testing this while playing Doki Doki Mahou Shinpan?Sweater Fish Deluxe said:I wanted to make a "game" called How Many Licks Does It Take To Get To The Tootsie Roll Center Of A Tootsie Pop? but testing showed that I couldn't get the screen to register my tongue no matter how hard I licked.
