This page describes the format of the HID shared memory.

Offset 0x0

Relative offset Description
0x1C PAD state. Bit set = button pressed, bit clear = button not pressed.
0x28 Same as 0x1C?
0x34 This stores circle-pad info: the low s16 is the X coordinate, the high s16 is the Y coordinate. The circle-pad center is ~0 for these fields. The range for these fields is approximately: -0x9C(top/left) - 0x9C(bottom/right).
0x38 Same as 0x1C?
0x44 Second circle-pad info word.
0x48 Same as 0x1C?
0x54 Third circle-pad info word.
0x58 Same as 0x1C?
0x64 Fourth circle-pad info word.
0x68 Same as 0x1C?
0x74 Fifth circle-pad info word.
0x78 Same as 0x1C?
0x84 Sixth circle-pad info word.
0x88 Same as 0x1C?
0x94 Seventh circle-pad info word.
0x98 Same as 0x1C?

The info for each circle-pad word is originally read by HID module at different times per frame.

Offset 0xC0

This 0x48-byte region stores entries for touch-screen position info. Each entry is 0x8-bytes, there's a total of 9 entries. Normally the last 8 entries contain the same data. When the touch-screen is not being touched, this region is all-zero.

The last 8 entries contain the pixel coordinates, while the first entry seems to contain the raw coordinate data prior to being converted to pixel coordinates.

Entry format

Relative offset Size Description
0x0 0x2 X coordinate.
0x2 0x2 Y coordinate.
0x4 0x4 This is 0x0 when this entry doesn't contain any actual data, value 0x1 indicates that this entry contains actual data.
