Could you please post the code you edited, (specific line and module name). I have no experiece with Visual Studio programming. I did get the tsoukkis fork working without any issues. As you mentioned that work is based on a very outdate version of touchmote.
Although the touchmote project is essentially dead, the newest version has alot of improvements on mouse emulation. I would like to get the best of both worlds, where i can correct stick emulation and get the improvements of the new version.
