The existing no-tilt patch for WarioWare Twisted works rather well on original hardware, but on some emulators like mGBA and VBA-M it causes the game to become uncontrollable. This patch should fix those issues, allowing you to play the game on machines with those emulators but without a gyroscope. Use the D-pad to spin, press B to spin faster. I have not tweaked anything else.
I’m not sure who created the original no-tilt patch, but whoever it was, I thank them for their work. I claim very little credit here, I just made it work in mGBA.

I still can’t beat the first boss using this patch. I’m using the GBA VC inject on the 3DS.
It is possible. Just keep flailing back and forth with B pressed until you smash the pot. Fortunately there’s no time limit for that one.
Coincidently, the night this hack got posted, I was just looking for a way to get this game running on MacBook with tilt controls (thought my Switch Pro Controller could substitute as a way to enable them again but no such luck). Got to play this hack for the first set of mini games and everything worked pretty well from what I could tell given how you can now change both the direction and speed of tilting manually using buttons. I would still recommend anyone try this game on a phone via Delta Emulator or even an original GBA if you can buy it, but this hack still sets out what it means to do pretty well for anyone not too big on motion controls in general. If you’re not playing for the tilt controls however, I’d just recommend the other original Warioware game on the same hardware.
