Touch screen works like **** when it comes to most homebrews i try. I remember someone said they fixed it with the touch.c in the libnds but i have no clue how to actually apply this to my NDS, can someone guide to a solution?

It may be the flash card you're using; the MagicKey, or example, causes MoonShell's to mess up.

Yes. I hate that too.
PoffPad v0.1 for example is sh*t! It's using some really old tools. It detects my stylus 10mm from the wrong point. To test the accurancy I followed the corners.
Can you please hb guys/gals update your codes with the fixed file so that I can use your great? apps?

The better touch code is already in the most recent libnds, there was a time when it was only in CVS but it's already been integrated. Not all DS are a like though, so it's still not perfect.

poffPad is compiled using libnds 20060201.

The problem with homebrew and DS is that Nintendo made several 'versions' of the touchscreen, the problem with these several 'versions', is that while programs like DS2Win and DS2Key (used) to have a very... peculiar touchscreen on my DS (on older builds), the new builds fix this for me, but wreck other DSs.
Poffpad is nice, I have trouble writing X and Y, but other than that, the stylus works perfectly, at least for my DS.
Try recalibrating the DS, but get mark the crosses wrong and test Poffpad, that might help ;)

Screen protector also makes a huge difference. Try with and without. Putting more pressure down when you want more accurate reading definitely helps.

How do official games read the screen? Does libnds attempt to mimic that or is its approach different somehow?

I think that all the work that's been done by the homebrew community so far to support people who want to program for the GBA or DS is amazing.
Thank you, everyone, I look forward to taking advantage of your work.

I'm not entirely sure (But I'm sure someone else, like tepples, knows this a lot better than me), however I'll share my thoughts on the topic.
When you calibrate the DS, it stores some numbers on some memory. Official games use some sort of math lib to calculate where are you pressing, based on those coordinates.
The libnds tries to mimic by calculating as well.
This is, as far as I know, I wouldnt hold my word for it.
