@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.

ra updates on a daily bases just a matter of when of if they pull the request :). I glad i came across this thread or i would have been oblivious to it not working

@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 :)

just compile it yourself :D

@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.
