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%
I can't believe you got an snes mouse to run.......and that's the end of that sentence.
I remember playing mario paint. I remember the biggest frustration was the mouse.
That makes me wonder how Mario Paint would play on an emulator, on pc, with a modern optical mouse.

Or if you have a Switch with an online subscription, Mario Paint is included with the SNES games, and you can plug in any USB mouse.
It's been a while since I had Nintendo's online service. Mostly because it provides no value to me. Gotta say, while I'm glad it's there, I would not subscribe to the service just for Mario Paint.
Username doesn't check out.
I think it runs, not sure how to setup though
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.
LIIIIINUUUUUX!!!!!
Lesser grade but similar emulation thing that surprised me:
Play a DS or 3DS rom.
Set up the dual screen config.
Second screen is a map or inventory or drawing area?
Just poke the screen.
At least the OLED Deck: yep, its all a touchscreen.
Did you know that the remade mouse for thea500 has no ball but optical sensor? ๐
I mean yeah there's stuff you can do but I wouldn't go back. But you said so yourself.
Anyhow, cool stuff. There are astonishing things one can do!
I've never been very creative, but I loved playing the flyswatter game inside Mario Paint.
