poffPad uses the recent port of dsMerlin for gestures. The gestures allow for an easy input system. Comments and feature requests are welcome
http://home.houston.rr.com/poffyprog/poffpad.nds
Gestures can be found here: http://ds.crmx.us/dsmerlin/images/dsmerlin-gestures.jpg
Known bugs:
- can only type in lower case (will be fixed in later versions of dsmerlin)
- Loading bugs (I'll fix ASAP)
Enjoy :)
(By the way, I know it is simple. I hacked this up in about 10 minutes ^_^)

it doesn't seem to work with M3 CF,
booted with A button---> freeze at the start up screen
booted with START -----> top screen show "no such file", can't input anything at the buttom screen.

Prepend a loader and it'll work.

how do i prebend a loader?

what about making it possible to write in uppercase if you keep L pressed or something like that? seems to me that would be easier than having to learn twice as many gestures? well, it's just an idea.

That's a good idea, however, DSmerlin will eventually allow (I believe) for you to input a single gesture to allow you to write something in uppercase.

If you have moonshell, you can find dsbuild in the WinTools directory, just drag the .nds onto that to make a ds.gba.
Also, if you don't have that or want to do it the only slightly more difficult way, go get ndsmall.bin from here (http://darkfader.net/ds/) and open a Command prompt.
Type "copy /b ndsmall.bin + /b file.nds file.ds.gba"...all this does is stick the ndsmall.bin file onto the front of the nds.
That'll run in the M3. :)

DSMerlin will allow for entering a "shift" character, similar to the way it's done on Palm's Graffiti. Then you can use the same gesture for both upper and lowercase characters. This is currently targeted for version 0.3. 0.2 will be out soon and include the following features:
* 0-9 number recognition
* divided touch screen, 1 section for alpha, the other for numeric
* help screen with a graphic of how to draw each character's gesture
The divided touch screen won't be the only way to handle numeric input, it's just the way I've chosen for my demo.

I tried this demo and it worked almost flawlessly.
The only letters I couldnt get to work are X and Y, and U was confused with O a lot.
X and Y are flipped, at least on my nds, when I tried X, either N appeared or Y, and when I tried Y either N appeared or X.
Other than that, good work!

It's very usefull for people who isn't familiar with commanline commands.
So this is the script:
| Code: |
@echo off
cls
echo:M3 power loader by pepsiman
echo:
echo:Please put only the homebrew nds that you wish to fix and "m3powerloader.bin" and this .bat file in one directory.
echo:
echo:If this is done, press ENTER, if not press Control+C
pause
echo:
echo:Applying loader (by pespiman)...
copy /b m3powerloader.bin + *.nds output.nds
echo:
echo:Now rename the output.nds to the game's name, and you're off! Cya
pause |
"by pespiman" haha, funny one! :D
But where is the "m3powerloader.bin", not included?
