For KitN, I'm cool with strictly using a mouse.Īs for emulating 3D you can always 'fake' it by using other 3D tech available, you know, the ones that still require glasses and such. A keyboard and mouse works fine though (it even feels like an old school arcade) but imo Desmume is best played with games that allow you to either use the touch screen for the whole game (Knights In The Knightmare) or not at all. Desmume is great, but if you have a game that makes extensive use of the touch screen and it relies on the d-pad or the ABXY buttons (The World Ends With You comes to mind) you can forget about playing that game with most joystick controllers. The upper-half is larger so most of the action takes place up there anyway.
Other than that, it's just something that sits there. At least for the current games I have, it's used mostly for menus and other quick actions.
I wish the 3DS used those two screen more.
