I feel like i found the setting to do this some time ago when trying to set up SNES Mouse w "Mario vs Wario" but can't for the life of me relocate where i found the settings posted. Figured Id ask here.

Im isuomg RetroArch iOS on iphone 15 pro.

Atm, I am wanting to play Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective on Beetle PCE Fast.

Wondering if anyone can help me or if there's an overlay I can download or an override setting I can use to let me use my touchscreen as the mouse input

thanks for responding.

oh ok. I see those options. so i guess that means there's no way to remap my touchscreen as the mouse input then, right?

Settings > user interface > on-screen overlay > overlay mouse

#

Should work just fine. I played Loom with my touchscreen as the mouse, it was great

ok. i think ive got this all set. something strange though.. when i shify the port1 control from pce joypad the mouse, the mouse pointer immediately drifts to the upper left corner of the screen. its accepting my touch input when i try to move it, but it seems like maybe there's input from some other source keeping it at the upper left corner. something similar thing happens in the RA menu.: i can freely move the mouse pointer around wherever i touch, but it immediately jumps back to the top left corner when i take away my finger.

I’ve heard of that bug before but thought it was fixed. Have you tried the TestFlight

i installed the testflight and the same thing happened. as soon as i switched pce joypad to mouse the cursor flew up into the left corner of the screen.

Oh hey that happens to me as well, neat.

#

Hm, it does respond to the touch screen, just that it also gets flung into the corner
