"Touchscreen" scrolling with A+B "grab" invocation

This is a beautiful idea - Edited for clarity from "spacepimp"'s signature on GBAtemp Pertains to issue #25 - Touchscreen Scrolling - moving the whole array of covers left and right under a wiimote grab cursor On any touch screen device you scroll between pages by flicking your fingertip across the screen - it's fundamental to moving around the interface Imagine having to use a button pad (or touch an on-screen arrow) to move between pages and pages of titles on your smartphone Yet this is what we do in wiiflow

We need the cursor on the screen for selecting items, not swipe-scrolling through pages.

• Free up the A+B squeeze to "grab" the screen, and users could move the whole flow under the cursor
• scrolling pages left and right in exactly the same way as a smartphone.
• A variable controlling the decay rate of the speed as and when the cursor leaves the screen, or the A+B combo is released
• user - definable behaviours with various invocations - half speed, stop pause (and continue at same speed),
• Invoked when the cursor enters the screen for a given period, or A, B, A+B is depressed again.

will allow for a customised and intuitive control of the interface

• Additionally, holding A+B and swinging the remote in the direction you want to browse in - the force of the swing could proportionally increase the speed of the roulette wheel - This has the functional advantage of working without pointing the wiimote at the screen.

This is a really cool improvement. I don't like having to hit the < and > buttons when using a WiiMote.
