    @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.

                          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.

                                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.
