GP2X Can You Use A Mouse With The Bob?

[Guyfawkes]

I am working on a new game after releasing Deal Or No Deal in a week or so time. Its a puzzle style game and would be much more playable with a mouse than the joystick. My question is, does a mouse work with the BOB? If so does the software need any special configuring (i.e. in setting up SDL) or if the PC build works with a mouse it should work on the GP2X?

If you know the answer or have a BOB and a mouse please let me know as I dont have a BOB to test it with but I would like to support it as much as possible. If you have a BOB I can send you an early version of the game to see if it works with a mouse.

Thanks

Yeah, a mouse works fine with normal SDL stuff (with the latest hw SDL build anyway - not tried with the GPH build), so if it works on a PC then it should also work on the gp2x.
