Hi,
I'm using DOSBox 0.74 on my Apple MacBook Pro (bought December 2009, running Mac OS X 10.6.6), and it works nice.
However, when I tap the touchpad (instead of clicking it), the simulated left-click may be too short for some games to recognize it.
The game where I experienced this is a German adventure called "Das Erbe":

The mobile version of DOSBox seems to have some special SDL configuration variables for touchpads (called "touchpadmouse" and "clickms"):
# This is the configurationfile for DOSBox 0.73.# Lines starting with a # are commentlines.# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.[sdl]# fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen.# rotateright: Alternate screen rotation.# mapperfile: File used to load/save the key/event mappings from.# kbdtoolbar: First toolbar.# gametoolbar: Second toolbar.# settoolbar: Third toolbar. Note: frameskip and cycles values are drawn there.# usescancodes: Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.# sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity.# touchpadmouse: Emulate mouse with stylus moves on screen. Can fix mouse behavior in games that expect only relative mouse movement.# clickms: When in touchpad mode, left-click is sent after single-tap. This sets the delay in milliseconds between emulated mouse button down and up events.# rightclickdelay: Touchpad mode. If you tap and hold stylus for this milliseconds, right-click will be send instead of left. 0 to disable.# dpadmouse: Emulate mouse with D-Pad. Make sure to set corresponding mapper values for this to work. Up, down, left and right keys are autorotated.# forcetoolbar: Sometimes where's no space on screen to fit even a part of toolbar. This forces it to display. Also a key and a zone can be set for toggling.# forcetransparent: Forced toolbar area, overlapping active screen part will be semitransparent.# forcezone: X, Y, width and height of 'force toolbar display' tapzone. No spaces please. See also hand_force_tlbr setting in mapper.txt# forceheight: Forced toolbar will have this height.
Is there a chance to get such configuration options for the Mac (and maybe Windows) version as well?
Yours,
