Etch-A-Sketch enthusiasts can finally use their Nintendo DS handhelds for some Etch-A-Sketching fun, thanks to homebrew developer putzpie. Putzpie Etch A Sketch, or simply PEAS, is another simple yet engrossing way to spend idle time.

Controls are quite easy: the D-pad moves the pen, while the following buttons perform other basic functions:

• A=Lift Pen(hold)
• B=Eraser(hold)
• R=Precision mode(hold)
• L=Clear screen
• Y=Quick Save
• X=Quick Load
• Start=Save Slot+1
• Select=Save slot-1
• Arrow keys/Stylus = draw

In order to save, however, it is important to create a "PEAS" folder at the root of your card. Once you do that (after copying the PEAS.nds file into your chosen folder of your SD card), you're free to enjoy Putzpie's Etch A Sketch.

Here is the changelog to PEAS v0.2.1:

• 10 save slots
• A cursor to show where you are erasing/lifting pen
• change the file name to save(#).peas
• use a "PEAS" folder, for .peas files.
• Doesn't draw a dot until the pen has moved.

As always, do not forget to go over the readme file before installing it on your Nintendo DS to make sure that you won't experience any issues.
