I've done something similar before with Playnite (an open-source PC game library manager), which has an HLTB plugin.

Project mention: endgame-exploit – A modern dashboard exploit for the original Microsoft Xbox | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-19> Pirates will always find a way
Except it's usually not pirates who find these exploits, rather curious tinkerers that want to unlock the full capabilities of the hardware that they own. The pirates / script kiddies usually come in after the groundwork has already been laid by these true hackers. E.g. the people who hacked the Switch in fact condemn piracy and any discussion of it on within their communities will lead to an immediate ban.
I'm proud to say that I've hacked my Switch, but have never pirated anything on it. An impressive homebrew scene has formed around the console, which has produced gems such as Mission Control, allowing you to seamlessly pair third party controllers. I use it with my PS4 controllers.

For gamepad control it looks like there is a program to do just that here .
Project mention: My incredibly thoughtful girlfriend went through the trouble of searching for your subreddit, seeking advice, and then bought me a steam deck. Thank you all, it was the perfect birthday gift, and I was flabbergasted. | /r/SteamDeck | 2023-05-11Congrats u/qualx and belated Happy Birthday! I've had my Steam Deck for a year now and super happy with it ! Also, I recommend checking out this guide it's super helpful. :) https://github.com/mikeroyal/Steam-Deck-Guide
The installation is different from what you might be used to from your typical mod. Download dhewm3_1.5.2_win32.zip from the githup page, unzip it, then copy, as instructed by the WHAT_TO_DO.txt files in the base and d3xp directories of the unzipped mod the .pk4 files from the game directory over (d3xp is only there if you installed the Resurrection of Evil add-on first). You can then uninstall the game from Steam.
Congratulations for buying a NON-PC that's IN-capable of playing games on its own except these games https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_macOS_ARM_games. You paid top dollars for a crippled machine, all thanks to Apple. Any ARM user "Must" use one of the PC Emulators told in https://github.com/mikeroyal/Apple-Silicon-Guide which is usually Rosetta (default by Apple) for you so that you can play ANY game you see but NOT in its native speed but in Emulated (slower but not much) speed.
