No, I haven’t tried that. How is it? As awkward as those controls were, they also feel like a core part of the game, so I’m feeling oddly both attracted and repulsed by the idea. But I’ll look into it, thanks for making me aware if it!
I never played the original on GameCube but I did all three on Primehack on the Steam Deck and it seemed to work pretty well. It took a bit of tinkering to get it working, but it was definitely worth it. Happy to assist if you have any questions!
Oh wow, just looked it up and the description is even better because it was intended to give the games mouse look controls, which IMO is superior to even dual stick for fps. Like set up a mouse and keyboard for a console fps that supports it and it’s like easy mode because you can aim much more quickly.
Guessing you need to bring your own ROMs (I wonder if I can rip my GCN discs with a blueray reader). Though to clarify, is this for the GCN versions or one of the other ports/remasters? I’ve got 1 and 2 for GCN and 3 for Wii.
Yeah it’s bring-your-own ROM because it’s just a modified version of Dolphin Emulator. I used the Wii trilogy version, had it installed on my WiiU and it was ridiculously easy to dump the ROM with Dumpling (you don’t need a modified console). If you’ve got GameCube/Wii discs then you’ll need a hacked Wii, I think it’s not too hard to hack a Wii if you own specific games (like Brawl which lets you read stages from an SD card and run arbitrary code), I think CleanRip is the tool you use to dump the ROM.
