TouchTest DS

This is my first EVER DS homebrew!
What this app does is help diagnose the touchscreen. It will show the X and Y axis of the stylus' touch point, and will emit a sound when the touch screen is pressed.

NEW: 1.2 is here! Go grab a copy at DSDatabase.

It's rather bland at the moment, as it is my first ever homebrew, but I'll see if I can make it a bit more colorful later.

Thanks for the response!

Sadly to say, the only way to calibrate your touchscreen would be to go through the calibrate loop over, and over.

 

I'm currently debugging a newer version of touchtest, I think i'll move onto something new after I smush the bug.

 

Is this better than what Diagnos has?

 

no matter how messed up your touch screen was, this WILL always find the correct co-ordinate where you are touching. i had a messed up touch screen and this found everywhere i touched perfectly as it should. i bought a new touch screen and i replaced it.

 

@Jamstruth... This does seem to be the case. PharaohsVizer used my app to help diagnose his touchscreen. And apparently, it worked.

Oh, and version 1.2 is here.

It's really a lot better than 1.0, and yes, it feels a bit better to use than DiagnoSe's touchscreen tester.

 

I can tell you that it does not perform the impossible on my sister's DSlite's slightly off in the centre touch screen (which is down to a hardware issue as far as I can tell)

 

nice work dude
keep up the good work

 

That's the version I ran (as numbers mean nothing to me) It comes up as correct along the sides and to the right and slightly up in the centre. Just the same as every other game sees it. Its not a calibration issue but a damaged touch screen. If the calibration is off you can just go through the calibration loop in the DS firmware to fix, this doesn't work in my sister's DS as when i tap the central icon it doesn't see it as me tapping the central icon but instead tapping elsewhere.

If it can't be calibrated its a hardware issue and this shouldn't see it as exactly where you are tapping which is why Nicky is really confusing me... Please don't see this as me ragging on your app, I couldn't code this (since I have no clue where I would start)

 

Is it possible you just misunderstood the coordinates? To me they really don't mean anything and could be referring to where I'm tapping or anywhere else on the screen (unless I have the urge to count every single pixel)
