The tool I used for it is called the Retrode2, a cartridge dumper which doubles as a 2 SNES and 2 Genesis controller hub.

With a bit of patience you can even run SNES carts on a Steam Deck https://mastodon.social/@16bitvirtual/116479936082268893

Is it cheap? Nope

Is it sensible? Absolutely not,

Was it fun? 100%

how Mario Paint would play on an emulator, on pc, with a modern optical mouse

Or if you have a Switch with an online subscription, Mario Paint is included with the SNES games, and you can plug in any USB mouse.

It's been a while since I had Nintendo's online service. Mostly because it provides no value to me. Gotta say, while I'm glad it's there, I would not subscribe to the service just for Mario Paint.
