Dosbox + touchscreen

[mhadf]

I've been trying to play Fragile Allegiance through Dosbox.


I've got everything going great except the mouse pointer, Each time I start it locks itself into a different area of the screen (generally the top). I've tried starting fullscreen/windowed, no difference. If I click outside of the dosbox window it locks in a different area.


Any help would be appreciated.

Yup, no joy. Must be the game itself

Have you tried other games?

This is my big complaint with DosBox.


I've tried everything I could think of and everything that was suggested to me. Some games run fine with nubs / shoulder buttons or touchscreen as mouse.


Others (WarCraft II I'm looking at you) have the problem you described (and more).


I even resorted to buying a USB mouse... and while better - it hardly helped.


Bottom line: It's not the game's fault. There is something seriously *WRONG* with mouse support / emulation in DosBox on the Pandora - A problem that only shows up with some games.


I'm waiting for an alternative to Dosbox...


...or for someone with the ability to find and fix the problem to get as frustrated as I have over this issue.

EDIT: You may wish to try the other version of DosBox (not WinBox) and see if it's any better for you. Read my thread for more info.
