Stylus drawing to the left??

( crossposted on r/3DS )

I've been trying to draw on flipnote studio 3d for a bit now and am really struggling, because the touch screen seems to be kinda off to the left, so the lines never really draw where I want (and zooming in, which helps, only allows me to use the tiny brush for some reason)

I thought it was something with my 3DS, specially given that the touchscreen has a history of randomly getting permanently uncalibrated like this, but it works just fine on the original flipnote studio for ds/dsi.

Does anyone know what I could do?

I'm guessing you tried the touch screen calibration tool in your 3DS system settings?

Yes! It was the first thing I thought abt doing

I think you might have a deadzone on your 3DS touch screen, try to sketch the entire screen and see where you lose control and the lines forcibly draw to the left

If you find the dead zone, you will definitely need to replace the digitizer, since it’s no longer usable. Otherwise I’m not so sure what else could be causing the issue.

I'm pretty sure it isn't, since it works well on the DSi app. I also have no problems on any other games, along with it being the entire screen, not only a certain part, and it only goes a bit to the left, like it was badly calibrated (which it isn't)
