Question

i was trying Microsoft Mouse Bundle 1.0, which only supports microsoft bus mouse, when i try to run mouse, it says Mouse: Mouse hardware not found. does DOSBox-X have bus mouse emulation? if yes, how to enable it?

rderooy commented 2 years ago

No. By default DOSBox-X (just like vanilla DOSBox) emulates a PS/2 mouse.

DOSBox-X (unlike vanilla DOSBox) does however support serial mouse emulation, and since the early Microsoft mouse was sold in both Bus mouse and Serial editions, you may want to try that.

In your dosbox-x config file set the following option:

[serial]
serial1=serialmouse

There is bus mouse emulation but only in PC-98 mode, where the bus mouse interface became standard, and only in the way PC-98 talks to it.

yes, but Version 1.0 only supports Bus Mouse, the some other versions work fine with serial1=serialmouse

I have a topic where, among other things, the bus mouse emulation in PC98 mode is involved. https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/1853

Can you upload the bus mouse driver you are using here?

ghost commented 2 years ago

here is the mouse driver, its for Microsoft Mouse (Bus version) mouse.zip

relevant documentation and info about Bus mouse emulation in VirtualBox: https://www.pcjs.org/blog/2017/10/13/

Bochs emulates it since 2.6.9.

86box supports bus mouse if you really need it.
