Steam Deck Can Be Modded Into A Wii U GamePad, Gyroscope Supported

gamespot.com:

Steam Deck's ability to emulate almost any platform is quite impressive, and Steam Deck HQ just released a way to get Wii U's Gyroscope capabilities on a modded Steam Deck.

Steam Deck HQ, according to its About Us, covers different Steam Deck configurations, as well as tutorials for setting up different programs and games. Steam Deck users will first need to get Cemu, the Wii U emulator, set up on their Deck before enabling gyro to use in games like Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker--a game that's rumored to arrive on Switch soon.

Steam Deck can already run a number of emulators, like Dolphin, the GameCube emulator.

Nintendo is notoriously lawsuit happy, and it's unknown if it will do anything to anything to stop this. Though, Cemu's been around for a long time and the code went open-source recently. The entirety of Cemu's code is now on Github.
