Description

Useful for:

  • DS スライドアドベンチャー マグキッド / Slide Adventure: Mag Kid
  • maybe XR titles on DSi/3DS

IMO the best way to handle screen edges is to pretend they don't exist. mainform.X / (screen.Width - mainform.Width)

Research direction

No file or test is identified. Start by tracing the WinForms main form, mainform.X, screen.Width, and the existing input-axis handling to determine how window position could be exposed; done should mean the requested position input axis works for the stated DS use case without relying on screen-edge behavior.
