Hello,

Im currently trying to use DOSBox on MAC to play the pc version of theme hospital. Unfortunately it heavily relies on the ability to use the right mouse button, which obviously macs dont have. So what im asking is how do you simulate right mouse clicks in dosbox?

thanks in advance for your help

Yes, they do so have RMB. Go into your Mouse Preferences in System Preferences.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Hello, ive entered keyboard & mouse preferences, and as far as i can tell theres no way of assigning a right mouse click.

I see there is keyboard shortcut sections, but i cant find out where to assign right mouse click.

any help would be much appreciated

Im afraid to say, my keyboard and mouse preference doesnt have anything like that.

i only have 3 "tabs" along the top.

from memory, they are trackpad, keyboard and shortcuts or something.

should i point out that i dont have an external mouse, im using the trackpad?

On pre-Intel hardware, AFAIK, OS X doesn't allow to use two fingers on the Trackpad to right click.
But I think that there are third party utility that allow that anyway.

If you have a MacBook or a MacBook Pro, it should work as Snover explained.

BTW, if you enable left clicking when tapping the trackpad, the "two fingers on track pad plus click" options becomes "tap with two fingers for right click". Invaluable IMO.
