Hello. I will add something like “Hardware configuration” to global settings. In these settings you can manually pick what is connected device for. Then magic dosbox will be able differentiate these events and your mouse will work 🙂
Hi,
thanks for report. Primary testing device for Magic Dosbox is Nvidia Shield Tablet. So, I hope I will be able help.
To your first question. The black cursor is shown if you connect bluetooth mouse or pair tablet with shield wireless controller. Unfortunately the black cursor is annoying and is not able to remove it 🙁 This is android limitation and question must be directed to Nvidia – only they can make special option for that.
Nvidia Shield Tablet has troubles with bluetooth mouse – tablet translates wrongly some information.
I posted the problem here, but nvidia is ignoring it :

I have idea for workaround, but I can do it to version 30. Currently is going out version 29 and is in latest phase. After I release the version 29 (in next 4-5days) then I will look at this problem.
Sorry, probably I will not make you happy today:(
TonyHi, thank you very much for sharing the experiences.
Yes, homam3 are slow. Maybe new devices generation will emulate it better. Fortunately there are plenty of other games which are working fine – Diablo 1 or Fallout 2.
Today I am going to install windows 95 again. I just have version osr 2.5. Should be one of latest with many features. So I am interested how it will work.
I will add my favorite dos games too 😉
Fallout 1 (rpg)
Wacky wheels (racing)
Realms of Arkania 1-3 (rpg)
Might and Magic 1-5 (rpg)
Dune 2 (rts)
KKND (rts)
C&C 1, 2 : Red Alert (rts)
Lands of Lore 1 (rpg)
Ishar 1-3 (rpg)

Warcraft 2 (rts)
Settlers 2 (strategy)
Heroes of Might and Magic 2 (turn based strategy)Ah good old times;)
Hi, thanks for info. I was trying OpenXcom in the past, but was buggy. I will try that now. It is always better if someone makes port for current operating system with all features.
I will create game profile with all settings for running win95 and will upload it to mgc file sharing section. I am currently off, so it takes few days.
I was looking for information whether Microsoft released Windows 95 or Windows 98 for free. Unfortunately seems that NO. So I can’t upload here already installed version.
Hi, thanks. Running windows games requires to have installed windows95 or windows98.
In this post we discussed about that
Hi,
great, I am happy that you found good controls for this game. I played this game far far in the past on desktop. Please if you will create nice layout, share it in mgc file section:)
Best regards,
TonyHello,
I can check the game. I think I tried it in the past and absolute mouse was not working. It has the same issue like Albion. Unfortunately not all games supports absolute mouse and are playable only with relative mouse.
I will try that and will see.
Tony
***EDIT***
Yes, unfortunately the game manipulates with cursor which breaks absolute mouse.It’s because old games are not made for absolute coordinates, only for relative and dosbox does not know mouse coordinates – because game is not reporting them to dos system. Dosbox is faking absolute coordinates using relative. For example : you touch somewhere on screen and dosbox calculates how far it was from last point. Dosbox then shifts mouse based on this difference. But if game re-sets (not you) mouse position then absolute mouse become broken.
This can be seen if you click on terrain. A popup window is shown and game sets cursor to middle of this pop-up. Or if you close this popup then game moves cursor a bit down.
Several games have bad mouse resolution. This can be fixed in advanced settings->manual mouse resolution. But it is not working for this game.
Unfortunately you must use relative mouse:(
>the most annoying issue i have is that the cursor does not reach all edges of the game.
I see it. I don’t know but looks like game should work this way. Should be fine to check it on PC.I copy paste here some information from other forum.

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=636270&st=340Thanks. I updated link. Also I added some missing DLLs necessary for virtual clone installation.
If you need install DirectX then change cpu type to “pentium”
For all : Please share experiences with win9.x installation or setup with others;)
So I installed today new windows 95 CZ. It was pain, but I will write here my experiences.
First snapshot was done with the Limbo PC emulator like in video in previous post. It was pain because this app crashes often. Unlike this video I booted from floppy using windows 95 boot disk. CD-ROM was disabled.
At beginning I copied installation files to the root of win95.img file which I mounted as Drive c:\. I used WinImage app. Then I booted from floppy win95 boot disk. I started on floppy drive A:\, I switched to C:\. Then to directory with installation files.
“c:”
“cd setup”
“setup”During installation Limbo PC emulator crashed so often that I though that it will never finish.
But finally I was able boot. I quit limbo and mounted this image in Magic Dosbox. But I was not able run normal boot. Safe mode worked and I installed S3 + sound blaster drivers from previous post. Monitor was set to super vga 1024×768.
Unfortunately it won’t boot normally. In safe mode I deleted lpt and com port drivers in device manager. In monitor settings I unckecked “automatic monitor detection” (or something like that).
After that windows95 started normally.
