        test your mouse in mame2003 with outrun believe it or not.

        left click will accelerate
        moving the mouse will turn the car

            @grant2258 after the feedback it looks like indeed it is an RA issue then.

            Great that you will scalate it to the RA guys. As a hint, my best guess of where the problem might be is in this post: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20004/mouse-as-a-zapper-lr-fceumm-rpi-3-b/29
            I don't have time nowadays to debug it myself unfortunately :( Thanks!

              Hi,

              The outrun version that I have only runs on FBalpha.

              Thanks a lot for your help :) I think this is a RA issue since it works fine in a 1.6.x version.

                Maybe it's this issue in the RetroArch's issue tracker ?

                            @grant2258 sounds good! it can be a while before RA releases a new stable version, so when your PR gets approved and merged, maybe we can quickly backport your patch to RetroPie's RA. What do you think @BuZz ?

                              @hhromic I'd prefer to wait for now.

                                  @BuZz sure no prob.

                                  @grant2258 I know RA is updated constantly, but RetroPie builds from stable branches, not master, hence end-users won't see these changes until RA releases the next stable version. I hope your patch makes the cut for RA 1.7.6 :)

                                      @grant2258 If I understand correctly, the problem appears when you have a mouse/keyboard combo attached ?
                                      I know I tested the mouse support in the topic @hhromic mentioned a few posts before (using the Nestopia core) and it was fine, but I had a standalone mouse connected and a gamepad.

                                        The problems was if the mouse didn't report in absolute coords it would close the mouse device. I can provide a pi3b+ bin for you too test if you like.
