Bamboo or Wamboo , something like that ?

Anyone know ?

Wacom , that sounds like it .

Is  that of the better devices like this , or are there ones that are better ?

They are called "graphic tablets" and I'm pretty sure Wacom is the only one bc they created the tech and have the patents.

My brother in law has one

How does he like it ? I'm looking to get something to step up my game a little . I have artistic talent & can draw , so why not actually hand draw my sprites & animations . I can use that thing for this , correct ?

He likes it ...I know you can use the software to save any drawings as .bmp or .png so I guess you could use this for MUGEN

I've actually heard of someone doing this awhile back but I can't find it

Good luck DT can't wait to see what you do with it 

[DARKTALBAIN]

Yeah , I got it .  Think I need to find some software to run with it . I read the disc they give you with it can interefere with some programs when installed . So I didn't want top install it . The thing still works in photoshop , but the pen buttons do not work accurately .

I've heard Corel makes some good software for that kind of thing
