I'm running Dosbox 0.65

I have a old homebrew app where it will always crash if you use the mouse, it's a known issue with the program.

So I've been searching for a way to disable mouse support so that it won't crash.

Is there anyway to do this?

Try a cvs build that includes "more parameters support for dos commands", then type "mouse /u" to disable mouse driver.

Hmmm, I'm having problems reading the notes from that thread...

None of them really mention quickly improved dos support.

Thanks for the point in the right direction, now that I'm rereading it's making a bit more sense.

I'm most likely not understanding what is said, then..

What am I to look for? I see a lot about different filter/shader sets, but...

There is MOUSE.COM in drive Z, for example, if you use my build.
