Any one figure out how to play games like mario paint for snes or track and field for nes?
I haven't tried a USB mouse yet, but I have a feeling it's not going to work out of the box.

Nostalgia overload if I can get those playable.

Thanks!

It depends on the emulator you use. ZNES is somewhat inaccurate but it does support USB mice as an alternative for SNES mice. As for track and field I have no idea. Never used the NES emulator on the pi.
