Description
If you go in LibRetro Controls Configuration and set Pointer X as WMouse X and Pointer Y as WMouse Y respectively, the expected behavior is that moving the mouse around will send inputs to the game (which is necessary for paddle only games and such), but nothing happens at all.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in LibRetro Controls Configuration with Pointer X mapped to WMouse X and Pointer Y mapped to WMouse Y. Trace the mouse-input path from that configuration and verify that moving the mouse sends the expected inputs to a paddle-only game; done means the mapped controls produce game input.
