Citra on the TV while sitting on the couch...how do you all do it?

[cscottbrown]

I use the following setup:

Windows 10-based gaming PC > Steam Link Hardware > Launchbox (Big Box) as non-Steam game > Xbox One Controller

This allows me to sit on the couch, pick up my controller, and play all my games without needing to touch a mouse, keyboard, or my PC in any way. This, above all else, is what I want.

However, I'm at an impasse with Citra because I can't use the touch screen without needing a mouse. Here's what I've tried:

• Use Citra core in Retroarch: This actually works really well. I can load my games from the couch and Retroarch emulates a mouse using the right stick of my Xbox controller. However, the Retroarch core for Citra is not nearly as fast and efficient as the standalone. Also, certain games don't run in Retroarch because of missing Mii data. I have spent literally hours trying to fix this problem but nothing works. In other words, controls work great, but games don't.
• Use standalone Citra: Standalone Citra plays all my games and they look/sound great. However, Citra itself doesn't have a user-friendly way to emulate touch interactions with the second screen of a 3DS. I have no idea why Retroarch has no problem doing this and Citra can't, but that's just how it is. In other words, games work great, but controls don't.

So far, the only thing I can think of to get both games and controls working is to use Steam to remap my Xbox Controller within Launchbox to act as a mouse and keyboard rather than a gamepad. The problem here is that Launchbox would then do that for every other emulator, as there's no way for Launchbox to assign certain controller configs to certain emulators.

Anyway, I figured I'd throw this out there and see how other people are doing this. Maybe you've thought of something I haven't.
