Description

Looking for help add Mouse feature support to webOS version of RetroArch - https://github.com/webosbrew/RetroArch
Unfortunately Mouse as a HID device and as a Magic Remote doesn't work in DosBox and ScummVM cores. Gamepad and keyboard are working well.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the webOS build issue with a HID mouse and Magic Remote in the DosBox and ScummVM cores. Compare this with the working gamepad and keyboard behavior, then trace the relevant input handling before defining the needed support. Done means mouse input works in both cores on webOS.
