2. Introduction
===============
The Nintendo DS, Nintendo 's new portable gaming device, hit the market on
November 21st. Along with the system itself, gamers soon discovered to free
things that came with the system. There was Metroid Prime Hunters: First
Hunt, a demo cartridge that came in the box. There was also PictoChat, a
feature built into the system itself. PictoChat was not a game; instead it
was a program that let people communicate between two to sixteen DS
systems. This is a guide on how to use PictoChat. If you had questions on
PictoChat, you have come to the right place. Check it out!
=====================
3. Entering PictoChat
=====================
PictoChat is easy to use. To access PictoChat, start by opening up your DS.
Make sure that it is charged up, and then press the POWER button. The
system will turn on, and it will bring up the start-up screen. Tap the
touch screen or press a button to move onto the next screen. On the next
screen, touch the PictoChat button (or select it by using the D-Pad and
choose it with the A button).  Next it will take you to the PictoChat
entrance screen. From that screen, select one of the four chat rooms. It
displays how many people are in each chat room on the right side of the
chat room buttons. After you have done that, you will enter PictoChat. Once
you have entered PictoChat, you can draw and send messages to other people
in the chat room. Refer to the control modes for more information on what
all of the buttons in PictoChat do.
=============================
4. Touch Screen Only Controls
=============================
There are two methods that people can use to use PictoChat. There is the
touch screen only method, and there is the button only method. Since
PictoChat was created partially to display the abilities of the Nintendo
DS, the touch screen only method has the most features.
When you run PictoChat, you will see that there are things on both screens.
The top screen is where you see messages that you or another person has
sent. The bottom screen, which is also the touch screen, is where you
compose messages to send to other people. Since the top screen is only for
display, the bottom screen is the only thing that is important for touch
screen only controls.
