Hide mouse/hour glass icon when game loads...

[debutvm]

Okay, i will click on my mame game (of course in gamex newest version) and then it goes black and the game is loading, but right before the game comes up either an hour glass icon or mouse cursur will appear, then the game will load up. Since i am running in an aunthentic cab i would like to hide this. Please help me out on this one, I have yet to find a post with this subject. Thanks in advance,

You need to make a cursor, like a small dark dot, so that it can't be seen.

erm i can't change the cursor cos i still need the mouse for some things.. shouldn't GameEx be hiding the mouse when it launches emus?

It does, its actually MAME that reshows the cursor.

If its mame that is launcing the cursor what do i need to change it in the mame.ini config file?

There is no setting for that. MAME is supposed to be a more of a documentation project now apparantly, so I'll doubt they will implement it. Your kind of assuming a lot thinking theres already a setting.You could of course always recompile the MAME source code, but your'll need to look elsewhere about that.

I will see though if its anything that can be done in GameEx.

As Hobo says you could make the curesor a small dot. That's what I'd do if I was that bothered about it.

Look at the shelling guide on the GameEx web site for more info.
