Why does the mouse cursor in maniac mansion (1) not respond? I have tried it with different cpu cores ... .
In the dosbox games compatibility list the game is described as "supported".

Same problem with "zak mak kracken and the alien mindbenders". The mouse does not respond. Works with keyboard, but not very comfortable.

ZakMak is also reported as "supported" in the dosbox games archive. So I'm hopeful it is not a dosbox problem and can be solved?

Did you edit PREFS and set mouse to 'ON', and start the game with 'ZAK P' ?

OOps ...! Maybe that's it! I was thinking the exe-file would use the "prefs"-file automatically. I will try this . thank you.
