Hi,

I'm trying to use a serial joystick device whose driver will not load since it detects there is already a mouse driver in memory.

The device is a Logitech Wingman Warrior joystick, and it is connected to the computer via a USB to serial adapter on COM4. I have configured dosbox to use this serial port.

The message I receive is:

Another mouse driver is present in memory, this mouse driver cannot be loaded. Please remove the existing mouse driver then load this mouse driver.

I tried inserting the following in the dos section of the dosbox config:

int33=false

Is there any option to prevent dosbox from loading it's own mouse driver?

Thanks

I don't think you can do that in regular DOSBox.

In DOSBox-X you can disable the PS/2 mouse emulation by setting

auxdevice=none

in the [keyboard] section of the config file.

Oh thanks, I will try that. I had run across a different method using a program called MOUSEOFF that I found here, but I'll try the correct method. Thanks!

Hi,

I have not been using DOSBox -X, but was using DOSBox. I installed and configured DOSBox-X, then disabled the mouse (auxdevice in the the keyboard section) using the included DOSBox-X configuration tool.

Thanks
