PointyRemote is a VNC client that runs simultaneously on a PC and a Nintendo DS (or DS Lite), which was designed by an anonymous developer calling himself/herself "Pointless".[1][2] It is currently the only VNC software available for the Nintendo DS.

[edit] Usage

PointyRemote consists of two software parts: the PC server client and the DS viewer client. The viewer client connects to the Internet using Nintentdo's Wifi capabilities built in to the DS; it then connects to the VNC server being hosted by the PC client. The host computer is then able to be controlled by the viewer client's system.

A full screen view is available on the upper screen, while a double click on the touch screen will give a zoomed view.
