Hi,

I discovered the X-Mouse program for Windows that works on x64, allowing you to remap mouse buttons/scrollers to many other functions including simulated keystrokes. I have set the wheelup/wheeldown to leftbracket/rightbracket respectively for dosbox.exe process. And it works.... mostly.

Under the command prompt, doing "one-click" of the wheel will indeed send the bracket accordingly. However, under some games (all BUILD engine FPS's), you need to scroll extremely fast a few good times before it even switches to the next weapon.

I can only assume this is a problem with DOSBox or the BUILD engine, since X-Mouse works fine everywhere else. I have tried loading CTMOUSE beforehand, messed with all X-Mouse options, pretty much everything I can think of.

If someone can figure it out please let me know 😀

Regards,
CosmicDan

Hmm nevermind, I just wrote some quick code to hook mousewheel events and send a bracket keystroke. It is indeed a problem with X-Mouse. Well then, if you want something done right, do it yourself 😜
