Some emulators fail to hide the mouse cursor in fullscreen mode. This little tool rectifies that issue.

Syntax: nomousy /hide

Simply run nomousy.exe without parameters to bring back the cursor.

So how can I add this to every game in a platform, I've managed to get it to work on a couple of games but there is 118 that I need to change

I'm afraid I am not aware of any method to bulk edit multiple games.

@Jason Carr Maybe this program could be added into Launchbox as a checkbox in the emulator options or some where so there would be no need to add it to each game singularly.... or in the bulk edit options 

[Jason Carr]

Agreed, that would be really nice. Unfortunately though I'm not sure if we have the rights to do that. IlhanK, are you the developer of NoMousy?

One more reason to use rocket launcher.

This could actually come in handy, and I like the idea of implementing a switch in LB as well.

Here's a small autoit script that hides the mouse cursor as well, and is open source (source is attached, autoit also specifically lists " You may use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for commercial purposes. You may sell for profit and freely distribute scripts and/or compiled scripts that were created with the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.", so that takes care of distribution of the compiled code as well. ). (p.s.: Doesn't actually hide the cursor, it simply replaces it with a transparent image, but that ends up having the same intended effect.)

If Ilhank isn't the dev behind NoMousy, i'll just fix this thing to hide the mouse on a specific keypress/by passing it the name of a window or by having it read window names from a config file, or code something in c that actually hides the mouse if this doesn't work for some specific circumstances. Anyways, I'mma keep an eye on this thread :).

Yeah, you can indeed do this if using the latest version of LB that fixes the ahk script problem.

You simple run nomousy.exe /hide a the start of the ahk script and run nomousy.exe at the escape exit event of the game/emulator.

So, in your emulator's ahk tab, you could have something like this:

 

Run, R:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Demul\nomousy\nomousy.exe /hide

$Esc::

{

        Run, R:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Demul\nomousy\nomousy.exe

        Process, Close, demul.exe

}

You have to change the path to your nomousy.exe file of course.
