Remote Touch DS gives you the opportunity to remote-control your computers mouse, keyboard and other things from your Nintendo DS hand-held console. This solution is not like remote desktop, but more like an advanced remote control.
The solution is client-server based, obviously, and requires you to have a server running. It is not plugged with synergy, it is my own solution. The server receives commands from the Nintendo DS and acts according to them.
Current release (out now; 0.6):
(Released December 20th)
This is a major release and contains lots of bugfixes and new improved features. Support for custom key-mapping. This also release features a completely rewritten server-backend in Java. This means the server will work cross-platform (Windows, OS X, Linux and other *unix variants). I would be glad if people running Linux or other *unix variants would give me some feedback.
Known problems:
EzFlash Vi not supported (possible partial missing DLDI support)
Next release schedule; 0.6+ (you decide):
(I will
Adding WIFI signal strength indicator.
Adding "confirm" action when doing shutdown/restart.
Add the most used hotkeys (like ctrl-alt-del, ctrl+c, ctrl+p and so fourth), and also enable arrows in keyboard-mode.
Add option to disable accelerated mouse and use the old 1:1 mouse.
Support for adding extra server lines in the rtds_config.txt and a accompanied server selection option.
Fix battery-save feature to not only work when in touch-mode.
Add support for commandline arguments when using the server.
Add option in server-backend for starting-up directly to tray.
You decide what the next cool thing is - come with ideas or enlighten me with a bug you've found
Development logbook:
This logbook will be updated throughout my development - mainly when important progress is made.
August 26 2009; Today I finally fixed the problem with not being able to cover your whole screen when using mouse-control. Now it works like it should!
August 28 2009; I will soon begin revamping some of the GUI to use some small and nice transition effects.
November 14 2009; Will soon get some vacation and will therefore spend some time implementing new features!
November 29 2009; Working accelerated mouse-movements like a real touchpad!
November 30 2009; I have now fixed the problem that caused the problem with not being able to reconnect to the server (only mouse-movements worked). This means you are now able to reconnect to the server without having to restart the server! Yay!
December 3 2009; Preparing for 0.3 open beta release. Update dswifi to 0.3.10. We're getting close!
December 16 2009; Preparing for 0.3.5 release of the server-backend. Backend is completely rewritten in Java and now works cross platform (Windows, OS X, *unix).
December 17 2009; Hit a wall in the Java implementation. It seems Java has no support for mapping/recognizing media keys (play, pause, stop etc.). Trying to sort this out in an efficient way. This is the only thing not working, everything else works like it should.
December 20 2009; Released version 0.6. Merry Christmas to all!

The server will run on all systems that is able to run Java applications - this means just about every system possible (Windows, OS X, Linux and other *unix variants) - the only problems that could emerge would be with media key key-mappings or shutdown/restart commands.
