Here is an application to turn your DS into a motion sensing USB gamepad. You'll need a DS Motion Card or MK6-motion or R6 gold for the motion sensing, and an MK5 (or clone) GBA slot USB linker. Plug all the cards in, plug the USB cable into your computer, and run the application. Presto - a motion sensing game controller.
There is no GUI, and no customization/calibration. Calibration can be done with your OS joystick calibration utility. No drivers for the computer are needed.
I made this several months ago, and was procrastinating releasing it. Darkfader asked for it, so I quickly updated it with the new DS Motion functions, and you can download it here.
Enjoy!

Shame I don't have USB linker :(
Sounds like a fun thing to have. Would be fun to try and play some N64 games by tilting.... If only someone could wright a patch for Mario64DS, ho well.

I've got a bluetooth adapter that I use with my wiimote, and thanks to some useful programs I can play mariokart64 with it. B-)

but can you imagine playing m64ds using the motion card! better than that stylus control.

Well I dunno about that, seems sort of a gimmicky thing to me, but it would be fun to try out. Better I think would be mario kart DS, except it doesn't do variable speeds of turning...

Thanks KeithE. It works great.

A steering wheel or the like gives a stream of instantaneous rotations distributed near-continuously in [-1, 1], and you have to map this into the discrete {-1, 0, 1} instantaneous rotation values that SMK, MKSC, and MKDS accept. Because you know that the rotations are going into an integrator (that is, the longer you hold left, the farther to the left your vehicle turns), you can use delta-sigma pulse density modulation. For example, if the player is turning the wheel one-fourth to the left, press Left one out of every four frames.

Ah, good point. Is something like this possible in Nitrohax? (probably not?) It would be cool to see this work, even steering with the touch screen.

Hello,could you post the sources?
I am trying to add more functionalitys to ds-pad (other devices as
wario twisted,yoshi tupsy,gh,paddle controler,...
thanks

Have you considered reverse-engineering the USB ports on the DS Action Replay and GBA Gameshark? I have both, so maybe I could help with that. It's an idea I've toyed with before, but never really got around to.
And yes, sources would be nice.

mmm,it sound dificult.And i think it would better implement again ,we have code of dsmotion work.
using ar codes is something also we wanna implement.
see ds universal pad post.help is welcome
