Is there any program like joymouse that lets you use button two on a Master System gamepad as right mouse button?
Is there an open source version of a joymouse like program?
-
I believe Commodore's JoyMouse that came with the CD32 dev kit supports the second button. If it's not working, I suspect it's either an issue with the Master System joypad in general (not wired the same way as an Amiga joypad) or your unit in particular (button broken).

My Master System joypad buttons work fine in Joe & Mac and some other Amiga games that support two buttons. I don't have a CD32 controller to test.

Which joymouse are you currently using? I didn't know about Commodore's version (thanks Matt). If you're not using this version, give it a go as it might work.

Well that's embarrassing, I thought I was using the official joymouse but I double checked and it turns out it was a third party version. The official one works fine with both buttons. Unfortunately it displays a pointless dialog box at startup saying to "use exchange to control it", any way to disable that?

Hmm. I don't recall that message. Try starting it with Run >NIL: maybe?

Check the tool types on the Joymouse program icon. We need (not bracketed):
CX_POPUP=NO
DONOTWAIT
This is assuming that you're using the Joymouse program icon to launch it or WBStartup, as opposed to the Run command. If Joymouse doesn't have an icon, then create a tool icon and enter those tool types into it and try that. You can have it launch in a script as if launched through clicking on its icon, but we won't go there unless you need to.
