The tool I used for it is called the Retrode2, a cartridge dumper which doubles as a 2 SNES and 2 Genesis controller hub.

With a bit of patience you can even run SNES carts on a Steam Deck https://mastodon.social/@16bitvirtual/116479936082268893

Is it cheap? Nope

Is it sensible? Absolutely not,

Was it fun? 100%

The most frustrating accessory ever...

I can't remember how well it worked as a mouse, but "Mario paint" felt the same as any PC paint.

Playing single player using a mouse in one slot and a gamepag in the other hand could have been amazing.

But even just "point and click" or strategy game.

The mouse was great just a giant waste and that's why it was so frustrating

Such is the Nintendo way.

I still have my Donkey Konga bongos.

I got that before I even had a PC mouse. It blew my mind.
