For many years I run Tetris 2.0m within Dosbox and it's working flawless.
There's only one thing that slightly annoys me and hope someoen is able to help with that.
The game can be controlled with both keyboard and mouse and therefor Dosbox is showing where the mouse is.
When you move the mouse to the top of the screen (otherwise your view gets messed up, since the mousepointer is a gray square) and the next block comes down, the mouse returns to the middle of the screen.
I've tried all sorts of settings, but can't set them in a way that the mouse isn't shown.

I start the game using the following shortcut: D:\Games\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe -conf dosbox_tetris.conf
I've attached both the game as the config file I use to start the game.

Any help with this issue, would be appreciated.

If the game has no way to ignore the mouse then use a program to disable the mouse:

.conf says it has been created with 0.73, but I think it should work anyway.

Wow, thanks for the quick answer.
The mouseoff file works like a charm.
Now I wish I had asked many years ago.
Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
