Hi Guys,
I was having a brain storm over how to get this working on this Frontend, and have come up with an idea for Franco to think about.
First off, there are only 4 buttons on the face of the NDS, we have them covered if we used a PS3 or Xbox 360 controller.
Next the Start & Select buttons, we have them covered also.
The left & right triggers can use the left & right bumpers on our Pads.
Here comes the clever part because we have extra left & right triggers on our controllers, how about when left or right trigger is pressed in, the touch screen overlays over the game screen and controlling the cursor on this touch screen right Analogue stick, pressing X or A on our Controller to touch the screen at that point.
Release the left or right trigger to bring back the main game screen
Now i realise at this point, there are games that require both screens showing at same time. like the first person shooters.
But games that just show a birds eye view of the track as in Mario Kart DS, or a Inventry / Map screen like on Zelda games.
are very promising using this method.
As for First Person Shooters, we would have no option but to have the touch screen bottom Right hand corner, at least then they would be playable, to some extent maybe on a 7" Tablet or Big screen TV as in the case of the Nvidia Shield or TV Box.
