Is there a way to Speedup Mouse ?

[Nibbler]

Hello there.
I just wonder, if i play games like, Indiana Jones, Monkey Island ect..
is there a way to speedup the Mouse cursor ?

Even if i set the Mousespeed to full in the workbench,
WHDLoad ignores that. ( i know why )

BUT, is there a way to "speedup" the mouse cursor in WHDLOAD games ?

I dont think so, just use a good optical mouse.

I dont use an Optical mouse, just Amiga Branded ones.
hmmm,snap, i guess i have to wave around.

The Problem is, if i use a Mouse with a very high DPI, its a really, really long way to get somewhere in those games ( so to speak )

hmm.. Nibbler needs a bigger desk.
but thinking of it...

It would be sweet if there was an option for mouse speed in WHDLOAD "mouse" games, because of the different DPI´s.

SO, an new idea is born for WHDLOAD
The WHDLOAD Mouse Speed Setting !!

Short answer, no.

WHDLoad bypasses the system and therefore can't influence mouse speed. Whoever codes a slave would have to specifically patch that ability into a game, but there is no 'global' ability to achieve this in WHDLoad.

Amiga branded ball mice are real pain and I think using them is a form of masochism.

I still use an oldskool tank mouse on my A1200! If someone bought me an optical one or a USB mouse adapter though..

At least Wizard mouse for Amiga has bigger DPI value (560 IIRC) and is faster with movement than original ones.

Just tried Monkey Island WHD.. It uses its own devs:system-configuration. So basicaly if you set your mouse speed by Workbench 1.3 Preferences program, save it, a replace it, it will affect speed.
Just tested it and works perfectly.

I know, Galahad, but it was just an idea to do a "general mouse setting" for Whdload Games, (maybe via, WHDLOAD.Prefs) It was just an idea. , but thanks galahad, youre awesome, and youre Stunt Car Racer Turbo Hack... Holy Moly BIG RESPEKT !!!

Hi,

If someone is still wondering about this I can confirm that copying DEVS/System-Configration file as is (including DEVS-directory) to your WHDLoad patched game's data-directory fixed at least Dune 2's slow mouse movement issue (assuming that you have speeded up your mouse movement on workbench on prefs). It didn't even had to be from OS1.3 even if the game uses KS1.3 image. I used System-Configuration file from OS3.9. Most likely this also works on other games too which has slow mouse movement issue.
