Re: Feature Request Reintroduce SNAC Support
I suggested that maybe a SNAC connection to an actual Amiga mouse might help, and that set off a fair bit of discussion, and probably ultimately prompted this feature request. That conversation implied that Minimig on Mister used to be able to do that, but we could be running on bad data.

Re: Feature Request Reintroduce SNAC Support
i've just realised that the oil drilling mini game can be played with the joystick!
Re: Feature Request Reintroduce SNAC Support
Unfortunately, it’s the pipeline laying minigame that has the problem in Oil Imperium, and that’s impossible with anything but a mouse. I haven’t found a solution yet…

Re: Feature Request Reintroduce SNAC Support
Yeah, I have long hoped to see this. One of the classic games I played a lot with my brother was The Settlers, and its just great fun to play with two mice.
I have also tried asking to get two mice support for the AO486 core. Serial mouse support has already been added to the PCXT core, but it sounds like it would not be enough to add that to the core because the MiSTer framework would need to be able to support it as well.

Re: Feature Request Reintroduce SNAC Support
Would it be possible to simply have 2 input ports option in core/OSD, where we could choose which device to mount? And have the core detect 2 USB mice?
This could help with multiplayer games, but I'm asking because I found a game which is downright unplayable without being able to use mouse in port #2. In Super Huey mouse is used to control nearly everything and the game requires it to be in port #2. This could be solved by just swapping the mouse port (at the moment, only joystick gets this option).
