Mouse cursor not visible in Windows 3.0 but works and is detected

[ArnoldUK]

Hey, are you still woring on this project ? I've done some updates and patches but I got a problem with the mouse cursor not visible in Windows 3.0. The mouse works in DOS apps but in windows it does work and detects all mouse events but the cursor is not visible.

Any ideas ??

Hi @ArnoldUK ,
the project is being used as a sort of benchmark for Portenta H7, so the development will continue 🙂
Can you share your modifications so I can try to understand what is happening?

I will upload them to my repo but at the moment I have only Win32 and RPi ARM builds. I was using a fork from the original Faux86 and made a few additions and fixes to the timings, display modes and updated BIOS and ROM images. The original fork of Faux86 never had a visible mouse cursor in Windows. Nothing I have done to the code has caused this. I was not sure where to look in the code for the mouse cursor under windows as mouse cursor in DOS works fine.

I think the developer of the project gave up working on it any further.

Ah, no worries, I thought you were working on some modifications to this library in particular. We didn't really change anything in the Faux86 original codebase, so it's very unlikely that your bug is fixed in this fork, sorry.
