Hacking Win2DS work as Faux Wacom?

[Mr Malice]

Well I was looking up a bunch of DS Homebrew when I stumbled upon DS2Win (or Win2DS. IDK what anyone is calling it.) It says I can interact with the desktop and yadda yadda. But say If I opened Photoshop, could I say use the DS as a fake Wacom tablet? Draw on the touchscreen to emulate the pen movements? Has anyone tried this way before? Would it work or would it end horrendously?

Thanks
-Mr. M

I think it could work, but it might not work properly...

Possible Issues:

1. Lag. The DS won't have a perfect connection to your PC, it's fine for just pointing and clicking, but you might run into problems if you draw.

2. Dragging. I don't think dragging the stylus across the screen will quite work.. You may need to hold down a button or something.

Just tested it with the latest version of DS2Win (using Paint though, not Photoshop). It worked, but drawing was a bit laggy. You only have to press a button to drag when drawing in full screen mode. In zoomed mode it registers a click when you tap the touchscreen. I had to set the zoomed view to Ultra updating and full screen to Slow or Off to get even remotely decent speeds, and the image quality had to be toned down to about 40% as well. Even then it was rather cumbersome to use.

It can work, but not nearly as well as an actual Wacom tablet.

Use zoomed screen for drawing without pushing a button on your ds.

Note that pressure sensitivity (if existing on your DS model) isn't transferred.
