Does anyone have a way to hide the cursor when running Demul in Attract Mode in Windows 7?

@tonberryhunter
use external scripts to move mouse cursor from windows focus (e.g. autoit (https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/) )

If your display is 1920 to 1200, take the half of the y coordinate (1200 : 2 = 600 )

Code: [Select]

MouseMove(1920, 600, 0)
compile it and set .exe to windows autostart

or

use external applications (e.g. AutoHideMouseCursor (http://www.softwareok.com/?Download=AutoHideMouseCursor))

or

Download instant sheller (http://www.gameex.com/instant-sheller-and-shelling-guide/) > use the BlackDOT.cur from downloaded archive as your standard mouse cursor

or

Disable Windows GUI with install sheller completly (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=47.0)
