Before I try them all, are there any game emulators for Linux that support touch input?

@pavel Maybe I should've specified my request: I meant game system emulators. But thanks!

@fell Well, if you emulate mouse using touchscreen on the whole system (been there, done that), then everything will work, including system emulators :-).

@pavel Ohh, I see. Yeah, if there was something that could essentially create an on-screen touchpad and customisable buttons, then the problem would be solved for all emulators. If I had the time, I would get started on writing such a software.

@fell gitlab, tui repository, tmouse.py, you'll need to modify to suit your configuration but you should not need to write it from scratch :-).
