Feature Request: Add option to hide mouse #154

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

The mouse cursor displays at all times during emulation. Having a built in 
option to hide it seems like a pretty standard feature and something I feel 
should be added. 

This is especially important in shooting games, since the mouse and the 
lightgun pointer do not move at the same speed. The larger object is where your 
eye goes, even though it's the pointer where you're going to hit. 

This is also an issue in fullscreen.

It never does for me in most emulators - so I do rely on this option.

Win 8 x64, Geforce 660.

My machine is set up very clean and I'm using the official MS drivers (just 
checked, no update). I very much doubt it's a "problem" on my pc, it's just a 
different config from yours. 

If you google the topic, whenever this issue was present with a user, it was 
that particular software that had the problem. Hiding in fullscreen is on the 
software/website side and this software (Demul) does not handle all cases. 

Why can't we just add this option? Forget my fullscreen issue, this is in 
pretty much every single one of my 15+ emulators for a reason. And there is a 
need for it. 

Please reopen for further consideration. At least get more results from other 
users. I don't think we should just write all this off as a config issue as 
well as dismiss the need for a standard software option. This ruins all my rail 
shooters, since I have two cursors flying around differently.

There is no confirmation of this issue from other user of win8 and demul. 
cursor hide is made by pretty common api method and it works fine anywhere 
anytime, there is no option to hide the cursor other different methods, since 
we don't support any other api's. so, if this is only your problem and no one 
of 15+ your emulators work the same, how we can do something above that? try to 
avoid it by using the empty cursor lol
