Analog Mouse Support
Use your gamepad's analog sticks to control the mouse cursor in DOS and ScummVM games — with D-pad as arrow keys, configurable button mapping for clicks, and per-system/per-game overrides. You need a connected gamepad. This works in DOS and ScummVM games only.
Overview
DOS and ScummVM games often need a mouse: point and click, drag, drop, or drop objects. With Analog Mouse, you don't need a real mouse at hand — the left analog stick moves the cursor; the right stick gives you precise 1/5-speed control; the D-pad sends arrow keys; Start sends Enter; Select sends Space.
What You Get
- Analog Stick to Mouse: The primary analog stick (left or right — configurable handedness) moves the cursor at 60fps with adjustable sensitivity
- Secondary Stick for Fine Control: The secondary analog stick moves the mouse at 1/5 speed for precise pixel targeting
- D-Pad as Keyboard: D-pad sends arrow keys; Start sends Enter; Select sends Space
- Configurable Button Mapping: Assign left, right, and middle mouse click to any gamepad button
- Per-System & Per-Game: Independent settings for DOS and ScummVM, with per-game overrides
- Auto-Release with Game Guide: Input capture releases when you open the Game Guide sidebar (so you can use the mouse in hints/walkthroughs) and resumes when it closes
How to Use
-
Enable Analog Mouse
Connect a gamepad first — Analog Mouse needs one. Then open Settings → Analog Mouse and toggle enable for DOS, ScummVM, or both.
-
Set Stick Handedness
Handedness means which stick is the fast one. Choose left or right as the "primary" (fast) cursor; the other stick becomes the "fine" (slow, precise) control.
-
Tune Sensitivity & Dead Zone
Sensitivity sets cursor speed. Dead zone sets how far you must push the stick before the cursor starts to move — raise it if the cursor drifts on its own. Both live in the same panel. Use the fine stick for precise pixel targeting.
-
Map Mouse Buttons to Gamepad
Click a mouse-button field, then press a gamepad button to assign. Repeat for left, right, and middle click.
-
Per-Game Overrides
From the Game Detail view, click Game → Analog Mouse Override to set per-game settings that override the system default.
Tips
Analog Mouse settings: per-system toggles, live stick preview, sensitivity, dead zone, and handedness
Comfort tip: Use the secondary stick for precise pixel targeting, and map mouse buttons to comfortable gamepad buttons for your preferred play style. If you're stuck in a puzzle, open the Game Guide via Cmd+J — mouse capture auto-releases so you can interact with the guide, and re-engages when you close it.
