I'm very interested in CAS, especially I'm trying to code a calculus solver myself, but I guess that I'd very better off playing around with something that's already done (Maple, etc) I’ll definitely give it a try.

I remind having some problems with DS Organize 2.3's drawing application, but I thought it was due to its bad flashcard compatibility. So I did what you said: I tried your "Draw" app (awesome work, I didn't find the GUI version, so I download Draw3), and everything worked well (the only problem I found was when drawing a LONG line, sometimes it doesn't draw 1 or 2 pixels, resulting in a discontinuity of the line itself -but maybe it's my fault-). OK: it works. Then I re-calibrated the touch screen from my firmware menu (I haven't FlashMe), even if I have no problems at all with games... For this, I think neither my screen protectors are guilty :P Last test of course was with Mathomatic, but it worked (or, better, it DIDN'T work) exactly like yesterday. I did know the Touch Screen Code wasn't yours... I didn't mean to hurt your work! Maybe this is of any help: Black Europian DS Lite bought on August 2006, no FlashMe, M3 miniSD (latest version) + Trascend 1GB 80X, PassCard3; .nds or ds.gba make no difference for me (M3 auto converts .nds files in ds.gba). p.s. Sorry for any mistake, English is not my first language. Sorry, e-mail address was fake, so my name (everything comes from a famous singer: “Joe.T Vanelli”)…

I did not write the touchscreen-reading code, that is part of libnds which I use to make all my apps. Do you have problems with other homebrew apps? For example my draw app? Also, do you have a screen protector? That has been known to cause problems also. And finally...try recalibrating your touchscreen from the DS firmware menu. </i> Vanelli: Here’s what I tried to email you after your last comment, but hotmail.com claims that you gave me an invalid email.

Same problems as stated in DS85_02 entry. Sorry for having to say this, but neither this program seems to have a functional touch screen code. Same problems as stated in DS85_02 entry.
