mouse pointer on the host).
joy0 - and the joystick will be emulated on this port and input will be supplied to

@xyphoid

Joyport0=joy0 would be fine. And it means that just like on a normal amiga, you plugged a joystick on mouse port, so you don't have mouse control anymore.

And if it doesn't work, check that your second joystick in configured to use lowlevel unit 0, in poseidon prefs, in your joypad hid settings.

I need a set up which will allow me to choose (move) the pointer, to select on wb, then play the game in 2 player mode with joystick for 2nd player. If i do
joyport0=joy0
joyport1=joy1
There is no mouse and no keyboard mouse key movement either. (amiga+direction arrows)

@fab,
settings were ok in poseidon, but I saw turbo mouse unchecked, so I'll try that at 125Hz
it appears you can't assign more than one value
joyport0=mouse
joyport0=joy0
so I'll see about the tourbo mouse setting. Previously, the joypad was active on wb, but wouldn't move enough to select anything.

no difference, just like plugging the joystick in mouse port on amiga. little movement(pointer shake), but not enough to do anything. pressing button 2 on the joypad flips to menu bar, so buttons are ok, but pointer movement is the issue

Well, that's "normal", yes. The thing is you can "hotplug" on an amiga, but not in uae, apparently :)

You can always use amiga+cursor to run your game.

/me runs
