Homebrew Using 3DS Touch Screen as a Drawing Tablet for PC

[Prot8toPot8to_]

Is there any way you can use 3ds touch screen as a drawing tablet for pc?

 

[Mr. Elementle]

i tried a a while back when i first got my xl and the short answer is No.

the long answer is the closest you could get would be mapping the touch screen as a trackpad and using it like a fancy laptop trackpad with a button as left click, but even then you run into a horrid resolution difference that makes it almost impossible to use. if you can save up 50ish dollars i reccomend just getting the turcom ts-6610 it's cheap but it's got all the features you would want from a begginers tablet, it's what i use when i want to do like real intense stuff with pressure sensitivity and all that

Why? A standalone Wacom USB tablet costs a lot less, has better pressure sensitivity and a larger surface area to work with. There is absolutely no reason to use a 3DS over one IMO.

Yes and no. A key feature of drawing tablets is pressure sensitivity, something 3DS Controller doesn't support as it just emulates a mouse. The 3DS is capable of it, the old Colors! homebrew on DS even used pressure sensitivity, I've never used Colors! 3D but I assume it also has the same capability.

Colors! DS can only detect the pressure sensitivity on DS and DS lite. Not on DSi/3DS systems.
