i know this sounds like a silly request but this is a genuine question

so i just tried to get dosbox running on my surface pro 9 and with alot of trouble shooting i discoverd it wont run with out a keyboard and mouse.
does any body know of a way to force dosbox to atleast run as normal without a keyboard and mouse (aka stop it from just auto closing)
or a good bluetooth mini keyboard and mouse thingo i can but to act as a kind of gamepad.

this is related purely to dosbox itself, i see theres a android port of dosbox which works, i just want to run it like that version but in windows. is there a command i can set so it doesent do a keyboard/mouse check on boot
