This game has a split screen multiplayer and can be controlled by two mice, or a mouse and a joystick.

There are just a few ingame options for the second player. I write them down here:

1MOUSE MODUS: MICROSOFT
2COM-PORT (1-4)
3IRQ-NUMBER (2-7)
4
5MOUSE MODUS: MOUSE SUBSYSTEMS
6COM-PORT (1-4)
7IRQ-NUMBER (2-7)
8
9JOYSTICK
10JOYSPEED (1-64)
11TOLERANCE (10-75)

Ideally I would like to use two mouse as in the "old times" we played a lot with my brother on a 486. Is it possible to configure two USB mouse to control separate cursors under dosbox (like one is emulating a mouse on a COM port an other is a mouse on a ps2 or something like that)? Are there any software for this kind of emulation?

If two mice is too hard, than I would also be glad if I could use my gamepad (Logitech Dual Action) as a joystick in dosbox. Is it possible?

Unrelated: I am not so good at settlers1 as I only played it when I was like 10 years old, so is there a good strategic guide for serf-city? I'm not even able to beat the cpu on the wave level. 😀
