DATEL Max Media Dock help

I bought a Max Media Dock, mostly to listen to music and watch videos, but I'd like to play a few homebrew games and applications too.

I downloaded a handful, put them on my memory card and loaded them up on the DS. They seem to load OK, except the TouchScreen doesn't seem to work.

For example, I load up the MSN client I downloaded, which seems to run OK (the log on the top screen says it's connected) but I can't enter my username and password because the TouchScreen is completely unresponsive. Same thing happened with some puzzle game I downloaded; the graphics showed up, the music played, but the TouchScreen wouldn't function.

I'm using a DS Lite, and the TouchScreen works fine for regular DS games and for navigating through the Max Media Dock...any idea why it doesn't work once the game/app loads up?

Thanks for any help.

Max Media Player/Dock is THE MOST incompatible homebrew software/hardware availiable. Very few apps are able to run on it, I'm afraid.

i have the Max Media Dock and I have no issues with it.

i have a 2gb Compact Flash Card with it.

i have all my .nds games running from it, the SCUMM emulator with Monkey Island and also a NES emulator with about 25 NES games.

its ace.

Hey you're from Wigan? I'm from Burnley!!

Are you using the Max Media Player software with it?

If you are, what the hell?! :eek:

i have the Max Media Dock, a 2gb Dane Elec Compact Flash Card.

i use the cartridge that came with the MMD and i use MaxOverload 1.2 to run .nds games.

the SCUMM emulator and NES emulator I got from this site:

this is the SCUMM one:

Ah right. That makes more sense. Though, I haven't been able to get MaxOverload to patch the games I want it to. :(

GuitarMonkey, what NES emulator did you use? How did you get it to work? And, most likely a no, does it have sound?

I got Picodrive working swell for Vectorman and a few.

Is there any smooth running GB/GB Color emulators? The one on this site is choppy as hell.

Sorry for kind of hijacking this thread. I just thought my questions aren't worth a thread of their own.

So I've heard :(

I would have thought that if they weren't going to work that they wouldn't load up at all, though? Seems odds that they load up, but the TouchScreen doesn't work.

I have to agree with MonkeyMan. I'm not sure why the Media Dock takes so much flack. I've had no problems with it regarding DS backup and NES emulation.

Anyone gotten anything else to work?
