Calibration Problems for the Nintendo DS Touch Screen
The Nintendo DS is a handheld gaming device that has two screens aligned on top of each other, one of which is a touch-controlled screen. This device is used to play video games while displaying two different images on the dual screen display. In order to use the features of the DS properly the touch capabilities of the screen require exact calibration. If you are experiencing errors with your screen calibration, you will need to perform a calibration diagnostic test on your DS.
