hello

i have been testing games with mouse like Harvester and i notice that the Y axis scroll works much slower than the X axis...

and if i add more sensitivity in the conf file (more than 100) its only affects the X axis!!

anyone knows the cause of this??? i cant play well because the mouse it feels weird like this 🙁 🙁 🙁

modify the sourcecode of dosbox 😉

I don't have harvester, but it might be relying on some default X/Y sensitivity being set with mode changes or not being reset.

mmm you are talking about a ''x/y'' sensitivity but in the conf file don't especifies two valors... only appears ''sensitivity=100''

Another thread about this issue (mentions Constructor in particular, but the utility available there should work for other games as well):

Difference between horisontal and vertical mouse movement in Constructor

It was reported to work with Constructor; might not with Harvester. Make sure you are running the main executable directly, e.g. MOUSEX 100 200 GAME.EXE

You can also try MOUSE2KV mentioned in the other thread.
