You will need:

- Wi-Fi with WEP security or without security
- Flashcart (any flashcart that supports homebrew)
- Nintendo DS
- DS2Key (download here)

Instructions:

After downloading ds2key r52.zip:

1. Extract ds2key r52.zip then move ds2key.nds to your flashcart
2. Open ds2key.exe on your computer and ds2key.nds on your DS
3. On your DS, type your computer's IP
4. On your computer (ds2key), click "Touchpad (Absolute)"
5. Hide ds2key by closing its window. To exit ds2key, right click the ds2key icon on the taskbar then click "Exit"
6. Start osu. If your desktop resolution isn't 4:3, change the resolution to a 4:3 one (like 800x600 or 1024x768), use raw input and keep the mouse sensitivity under 2x
7. On the DS, tap "TOUCH" to move the cursor with the stylus

How to find your computer's IP
Press Win+R then type:
cmd
On the command line window, type:
ipconfig
then scroll until you find your wi-fi/ethernet adapter. It will normally say "Wireless LAN Adapter" or "Local Area Connection". Your IP will be shown as "IPv4 Address"

If your cursor suddenly lags or stops working, it's probably a problem with your router, your cpu being too slow or your computer's wi-fi/ethernet adapter failing.

If the cursor stops working when making quick lines, use ds2key 1.01 instead (download here).

On a DSi:

White: 1x (6.6cm x 4.95cm, 256x192)
Grey: 1.1x (6cm x 4.5cm, 233x174 )
Blue: 1.2x (5.5cm x 4.125cm, 213x160)
Red: 1.33x (4.96cm x 3.72cm, 192x144)
Green: 1.5x (4.4cm x 3.3cm, 171x128)
Yellow: 2x (why would you use this. 3.3cm x 2.475cm, 128x96)

I use 1x

Interesting, might give it a try. What about response time?

If you mean input lag, it's around 4-16ms (guessing from wi-fi lag, osu says that it's 1ms). osu says that the refresh rate for the DS is around 60Hz.

60hz ow
