View Full Version : Hand-held MSPaint?
Does anyone know if there are any hand-held systems, like palm pilots or something, that supports and lets me use MSPaint on it? It'd really help to have one. >,<;
One of these, but i think they are very expensive and I dont even know where to get one but it looks cool. (http://www.zypad.com/zypad/home.aspx)
You know whatd be cheaper?
Just get a cheap laptop.
Heck, get it used it you want. As long as it has MSpaint on it itll be fine.

Uh... How much are they exactly? >,>;
And Nova, maybe, I can only get a Laptop if I buy it with my own money.
Generally, handhelds can't run the same software as regular PCs. You probably can't get one that can run MSPaint, specifically, but there are drawing programs that run on handhelds.
Argh... Oh well. Laptop it is. v-v;
Why do you specifically need MSPaint? There are plenty of other drawing programs that you could use.
Indeed. For example, there are a couple of Homebrew drawing progams for the DS. You just need a DS, a flash card, and you're done.
Well, I suppose. I'm just most comfortable with MS Paint, I guess. I've never tried Paint.net or anything else. >.>;
And did you say there are paint programs for the DS?!

Depends on what you need it for. If you just want to doodle around or something, you'll probably be able to find one of those DS-paint-programs if you look. Note that you'll probably need a FlashCard or something to use those.
If you want to sprite or do other exact work - buy a Laptop. Trying to do pixel-exact drawing on a small screen with low resolution will make your eyes hurt like fire after a while.
I want a program that will save my sprites, and allow my to zoom into my work, so I don't encounter what Terry said. >,>

Even with zooming in, spriting on such a tiny screen will drive you raving mad after a while.
You haven't seen how small I can draw.
I am the source of driving people raving mad. Besides, I have a Game Boy Micro, and the system's almost as small as the DS's screen, plus I play it just fine.
Why use a 2" screen when you can have a 10-12" screen?
Get a laptop.

Get a Tablet PC.
It's basically a laptop, but it folds up into a sketchbook-type thing.
The screen is touch sensitive and comes with a stylus.
I'm planning to get one for my birthday for similar reasons.

A tablet PC or a laptop would be a lot more expensive, though.

Hoooooooooly crap. That looks awesome. Though I'm sure it's expensive. o_-
And I agree, Wanderer. As much as I'd like a Tablet or Laptop, there's almost no way I can afford it, as there is no way for me to make... Money... ... ...
eBay. I just remembered. I have a lot of old crap to sell on eBay.

well, are you going on any vacation to any foreign country soon?
Because believe it or not, I got my tablet (pen) at what was equivalent to 20$.
Currency Exchange can be very useful if you look around right.
Since Ebay is used by millions of people world wide, try searching there.
