swabs wont work on csi and similiar game

So I downloaded a rom of a detective game (forgot the name) and try as I might I just couldnt get the swabs to work cuz they kept breaking. Dismissed it as being some crappy game and moved on. Now recently I noticed csi dark motives and said hey 5his seems like a good game so I dled it only to get the same result. Now this time I didnt think its a crappy game cuz 1. The swabs dont break and the bar which I imagine gets full as you swab whatever ur swabbing never even reacts. And 2. Ubisoft made the game and their games are pretty good imo. Anyway I was just wondering if any one else is experiencing this or if I am doing something wrong.

Much obliged for reading/posting

Sorry, but what do you mean by swab?

Tested it out. The issue is, you have a cotton swab that you are supposed to brush over an area of the screen to collect liquid, and the swab cursor has a meter next to it that I'd assume is supposed to fill, except it doesn't. I can't test it on a real DS right now. It doesn't work in Desmume, but it does apparently in no$ and ideas. Also this: http://forums.desmume.org/viewtopic.php?id=9111

Thanks, that would explain the problem for us too. Not sure yet what the best way to handle this would be.

Oh ok so it isnt just me having this problem. Looks like even other emulators are having this issue too.

Hope this will be fixed as im running out of good games to play :p. And csi is cool.

Thanks again for the ppl who tested it and the staff reply

Edit. Also thx for a kickass emulator

So I assume you'd be implementing a similar hack for CSI to work, then?

We'll be doing something, not sure what yet though. Possibly an option that trades touch motion latency for fidelity.
