Retroarch PUAE - hide Android mouse?

twenty90seven · 13 June 2022, 12:03

When using PUAE in Retroarch on Android, if you connect a mouse, then the Android mouse cursor will show and cannot be hidden. This leads to two mice on screen - the Amiga mouse, and then the Android mouse over the top. Is there any way to hide the Android mouse in Retroarch?

I think it has to capture the mouse. Is it in general working in https://vamigaweb.github.io when you select mouse in port1 ? Concerning retroarch, watch out for a mouse capture setting.

Yes the Android mouse cursor renders over the top of vamigaweb

Ok if that is the case then it seems that PUAE might also be doing the right thing but the OS screws this up... because vamigaweb uses the (chrome) browsers pointerlock API i.e. when you select "mouse" in port1 then OS mouse icon will be captured ... well ... normally ... in other Operating Systems

have you checked another phone ... or maybe try to upgrade you Android OS version ?

Indeed not a core issue but a RetroArch issue with this particular platform. Windows etc hide OS mouse just fine, so most likely it simply isn't implemented.
