Does anybody here re-calibrate their DS (look in options in the home menu)? I never have needed to, I get bored though so I have done it from time to time. Also what can cause it to be uncalibrated?

You want to know if i calibrate my DS? what's next? My name, ID, fone, credit card number, shoe size?

Hehe, I'm joking.

I never had to recalibrate, i guess you only need to do so when your screen gets calibration problems, that possibly happens if you touch the screen too hard, pushed the touch-screen or dropped your DS.

I can't because my touch screen is retarded usualy, if you need to calibrate, no matter where you touch on the screen its a bit up, right, left or down, but in the same direction and for the same distance no matter where you tap. Calibrating can easily fix this but if your screen is messed like mine where in some places it sences higher than wher you pressed and like 5 pixles across it sences way lower tha were you taped and other places it sences slightly to the left or right than calibrating dosen't help and it makes games exreamly diffcult to play :( :( I need a new DS but I'll wait for DSi

I don't need to do it (clicked No), but I do it just for.. 'fun?' from time to time.

No idea how calibrating would be fun. Couldn't find another word :)

I calibrate my ds every time I play metroid hunters or phantom hourglass, to ensure that it works. And works well.

Come to think of it, I've never really needed to re-calibrate it. I calibrate it for fun sometimes even if it isn't broken. ^^
