Kempston Mouse pointer doesn't move

[Alessandro1970]

Hi, I cannot succeed in moving or using the mouse pointer with this Kempston mouse interface driver for Spectrum BASIC. [Preferences: kempston mouse allowed ON - Trap Mouse ON] Can someone tell me how I may move the pointer ? README.zip

mouse.zip More info here: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/14620/ZX-Spectrum/Kempston_Mouse_Interface_Driver or here: https://k1.spdns.de/Vintage/Sinclair/82/Peripherals/Mouse%20Interfaces/Kempston%20Mouse%20Interface/Kempston%20Mouse%20Interface%20Driver/

@raydac It does not work to me too, it should show an arrow not a mouse with "ESC" word.

It doesn't even work for me, I tried it with Speccy emulator and it immediately shows the mouse arrow, but this doesn't grab the mouse.

I use ports for kempston mouse 0xFBDF - X 0xFFDF - Y 0xFADF - button

in provided program, in basic listing I don't see any port reading, it reads some ram cells in 60000, 60827, 60828, may be something should read mouse coords and write there? may bne some special basic version?

This mouse.z80 program does not work well with emulators BTW the mouse.drv loads fine and can be used if needed.

The ZxPoly works well in mouse Kempstone emulation, the right app to be used to is this: KempstonToolkit.zip
