Hi,
I have only had a DSLite and R4 for just over 2 weeks, coming from the PSP homebrew, I found the touch screen both a welcome addition and somewhat of a big issue ...
I have tried homebrew titles like NitroTracker, WinDS and DSLinux and experienced massive inaccuracies in the stylus positioning on the touch screen. I have tried recalibrating, and checking the calibration in PICOChat, all the on-screen buttons are selectable and drawing is perfect! If I restart with the R4 and boot NitroTracker, only a few buttons are selectable, the left icons seem unusable/or hard to target. If I use WinDS the icons drag all over the place!
The problem seems to be with homebrew running on the R4. If I use a rom backup or original slot-1 cart. The touch screen calibration seems perfectly fine.
I have searched on the matter and found a suggestion to remove the battery and recalibrate. I have tried disconnecting the battery and recalibrating after boot -- (It seemed to make a small difference with DSLinux only why!?).
My R4DS software version is v1.08, hardware is Chinese for the R4. The DSLite itself was bought in China, not sure of the firmware version of the DSLite (I cannot see a version anywhere?).
