Support for multiple styluses?

grfla2 · 4 Weeks Ago

Do you think you could add support for multiple styluses? Some games require it, like Hotel Dusk, where there's a puzzle requiring you to press two switches at the same time.
I'm not quite sure how you'd control two styluses, though.
No$gba's specifications note that the DS should return the average of the two values in this case, so I got past it by first switching on one of the switches, then pressing N to pause the game, and sort of switching on an imaginary switch in the middle of the two switches while holding N

. Would be nice if there was a better way of doing it?
(Of course, just switching on that imaginary middle switch wouldn't work - you have to start with one of the switches)

This is the first I've ever heard of that. I can't believe that game actually does that. Thanks for reporting the workaround, since it works I am disinclined to add any gunky code just for this case. I'll add it to the faq though.
