pip install py-desume doesn't work on Windows

[Tobs40]

Latest version of pip 20.3.3
Python 3.7.9
Windows 10

pip install py-desume, it says:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement py-desmume
ERROR: No matching distribution found for py-desmume

It only works on Windows for Python 3.8+ because I don't provide a wheel for Python 3.7. It should still work but would require you to compile it for yourself. Are you able to update?

I'm working with Linux now, haven't tried it yet

Hi,
I'm also trying to install on:
Windows 7 (64 bit)
Python 3.7
pip 20.3.3

I can't seem to be able to compile it, and I get what seems to be a MsBuild error.
This is the whole output of me running "python setup.py install":

The current version of the fork doesn't work because of changes made to to DeSmuME. I need to have a look at it.

I just tried pip install py-desmume with 3.9.5 on Windows 10 and it's installing :)
However when I use the following code on the Pokemon Soul Silver.nds file (I've tested three different ones) I can't get past the initial dialogue because the touchscreen is only working during the intro and after that (at least during the initial dialogue as far as I can tell) I can't use the arrow keys. I guess that's because of the changes made to DeSmuME.

EDIT: The buttons are clickable, the touchscreen is shifted I think, You need to click above or the very top of buttons. I'm not 100% sure that it's purely shifted though, the degree of shifting differs from button to button. Curiously the amount of shifting seems to be the same as the height of the top bar of the window, so maybe it's just some GUI issue?

EDIT2: Other buttons seem to work fine, maybe it's just the .nds?
