Hello,

I’ll be receiving my Steam Deck very soon, and there are plenty of games I want to play or replay using Emudeck, including the two Zelda games on Nintendo DS, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

However, I’m wondering about how to play these games on the Steam Deck. Can you play these games without using the touchscreen (or as little as possible)? Is it playable at 100% like on the Nintendo DS? Has anyone tried emulating them?

Thanks in advance!

    You can set one of the trackpads to ‘as mouse’, which lets you use the touchscreen without actually touching the screen. You could also do it with one of the analogue sticks as well, but the trackpads are more precise.

    If you’re open to using the touchscreen, though, you could just buy a cheap capacitive touch stylus and use it exactly as you would on a real DS.

    Both Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass have very heavy use of the touchscreen. You will need to touch it
