        @sexbeer I am intrigued why your gamepad input device files have ACL permissions on them (the + next to the permissions in the file listing).

        It seems you are using an Xbox pad that is using the xpad driver. It might sound dumb but can you try without that pad connected? can you just connect the mouse and a keyboard and see how it goes?

            @sexbeer finally the issue was identified in RA's side.

            @grant2258 sent a pull request to RetroArch to fix this issue here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/7730
            Once merged your problem should be fixed, keep an eye on that PR @sexbeer ;)

              @sexbeer if you feel like trying the patch from @grant2258 , you can do the following while the PRs are in the process of being reviewed/merged:

              cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup  # go to the RetroPie Setup directory
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh retroarch clean  # clean the build
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh retroarch sources  # download the sources
sudo patch -p1 -d tmp/build/retroarch < <(wget -qO- https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/7730.diff)  # patch retroarch with PR #7730
sudo patch -p1 -d tmp/build/retroarch < <(wget -qO- https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/7759.diff)  # patch retroarch with PR #7759
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh retroarch build  # build the patched retroarch
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh retroarch install  # install the patched retroarch
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh retroarch clean  # to leave all clean again

              Afterwards, just launch your game and test if the mouse is now working for you. In particular check that you are not getting this error anymore:

              [ERROR] [udev] Failed to open device: /dev/input/event1 (Success).

              Your feedback is highly appreciated! Thanks!

                        @sexbeer yes indeed I forgot to mention that you need to go to the RetroPie directory first! apologies! luckily @grant2258 gave you the hint.

                        and I'm glad your mouse is now working! more points for this patch! thanks for testing. I guess now you can go enjoy some Zapper shooting ;)

                              @hhromic good news is the patch is in retroarch now however they asked me to change something which broke it. So i applied another patch to sort it. in your instructions can you add this after the first patch.

                              sudo patch -p1 -d tmp/build/retroarch < <(wget -qO- https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/libretro/RetroArch/pull/7759.diff)  # patch retroarch with the PR1

                                @grant2258 great news indeed! I updated my original comment now. I used the same URL formatting as the other PR for consistency.

                                I'm thinking on opening a new topic to direct users to your patch and these instructions, so we can collect more positive feedback and easily direct users having the same issue.

                                  @hhromic sounds like a plan something will need to be in place until retropie decides what to do.

                                    @hhromic said in mouse as a Zapper lr-fceumm RPi 3 b+:

                                    sudo ./retropie_packages.sh retroarch clean # to leave all clean again

                                    Hi,

                                    Thank you very much for this, I can now at least use my Wireless KB/Mouse with games such as Missle Command, but I cannot seem to get retroarch to use a different mouse #index and it doesn't matter what I chose in retroarch, once I launch the game it's only the KB's Mouse that works.

                                    Many Thanks,

                                    Paul

                                    *** Update, it works I just rebooted without the Wireless KB Controller in place and it all just worked ***

                                      Hello
                                      I have the same issue with the mouse.
                                      I download the last image of retropie and I have the issue. Do you know if the fix is inserted in the new retropie image.
                                      When I go to the mame menu in lr-mame2003 I dont have the option " MOUSE X ANALOG" like in the windows version of mame (I use to have an arcade with mame in windows xp)

                                      And I dont know where to put mouse-enabled at true. Like we use to do in the mame.ini file.

                                      So I tried the command line listed upper in this post, and on the line :
                                      sudo patch -p1 -d tmp/build/retroarch < <(wget -qO- https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/7730.diff)
                                      I got and error
                                      " Hunk #1 failed at 505 "
                                      Any idea.
                                      Help need please.

                                          @grant2258 Hello
                                          I chekc on the system and i'm unable to find a mame2003.log
                                          Do you know where it should be.
                                          Also I check the runcommand.log, and tehre is only two lines who said that I launch centipede.
                                          In the mame menu, I cna assign a button to a mouse click. But it cannot register my mouse moving.

                                          Francis
