Hi all!
I have one more issue with physical mouse 🙂
My devices are: Samsung Galaxy S8 + Bluetooth mouse “Microsoft Bluetooth mouse”.
To scroll the map in “Settlers 2” game I need to hold right click and move the mouse.When I do this (hold right click on the physical mouse), after about two seconds the system menu (with 3 options “input mode”, “general settings” and “keyboard”) pops out, and also virtual cursor becomes visible (unfortunately this cursor wasn’t recorded in the video for some reason), so I have to hide it again.
Video here:

Otherwise scrolling the map is not really convenient 🙂Thanks!
11. April 2020 at 7:22 #7916adminKeymasterHello,
I know this issue, your system detects holding right click and simulates menu key which was present on old devices and from some android version it was virtual, 3 dots on navigation bar. I fixed it several times, but seems manufacturers still finds way how to brick it. And in some cases it is not possible to fix. I can check sources.
EDIT : Yes, it’s fixed in the code, with note :D. Probably menu key is not identified like coming from physical mouse. I simulate right mouse click if mdosbox obtains menu key and source is physical mouse :
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU && isKeyEventFromPhysicalMouse(event)) { PhysicalMouse.mouseButtonFix(down, 2); return true; }
boolean isKeyEventFromPhysicalMouse(KeyEvent event) { //MotionEvent has function getToolType to get correct source hardware, however keyevent has nothing like this //We must use this shitty detection which does not work at 100% int source = event.getSource(); return (source & InputDevice.SOURCE_MOUSE) == InputDevice.SOURCE_MOUSE || (source & InputDevice.SOURCE_MOUSE_RELATIVE) == InputDevice.SOURCE_MOUSE_RELATIVE; }
Looking further in the code, I see potential fix with re-mapping key. It could work. Can you try this :
In mdosbox menu, while game runs, press back button and go to mapper and tilt or voodoo menu (menu in which you re-map keys to something else). Open “buttons” section and new mapping. There try hold mouse for detecting menu key. This step is critical, hope it will be detected. If is detected then add it, but bind nothing, let it on “none”.

First of all thanks again for the Magic DosBox, I wish I could rate it at 100 stars, this DosBox is just great 🙂So, I tried to remap but it didn’t help…
I also tried to remap the built-in phone button (volume up), just for a test, and it did work.So we can say that the remapping feature, in general, does work on my phone, it just doesn’t with the physical mouse.
Also, I noticed that during the process of remapping I can hold right-click forever, and this menu doesn’t show up.Video here (sorry for my English):

12. April 2020 at 7:54 #7918adminKeymasterMany thanks. In the past I created application for debugging events coming to mdosbox application from system. That application is on google play in beta stage, you cant see it on store, but you can join beta testing. Please can you send me email? For next two days I will not be available due Easter. But then I like to see log from your device. May happen that event for menu will be not delivered to mdosbox and then I cant do nothing…

Done, I sent an e-mail to your contact from the google store.

Sure, there is no urgency, take your time 🙂
