A _MOUSEMOVEMENTX question

[bplus]

You are RIGHT sir! I tested with Mousemovement outside the mouse poll loop and got zero detected also.

I learned something today +1 for you!

@NakedApe for a rep point I will tell you how I got such a high X might be useful in a game?

Quick before someone else figures it out

Oh, is that how this all works?! Haha, I just upped your rep +1. What do I get, what do I get?

Thanks, Steve. I have read that helpful post of yours already. The issue here is that _MOUSEMOVEMENTX doesn't work right in macOS - and Linux apparently. You can't scroll endlessly on my computer and get results... alas. Maybe our resident Mac expert, @a740g, could have a look when he gets a chance. Thanks.

I knew _MouseWheel didn't work on Mac, but the _MouseMovement commads are supposed to.   It's hard to keep up with Mac sometimes as they change things under the hood with various releases and such.  We'll try and dig into the issue a little better for you, ASAP.  

Personally, I'd be happy to dig into it -- if you guys want to pony up and buy me a nice macbook or such for testing and development on.    It's just a shame that Mac makes it almost impossible to even host a VM for testing.  Last time I tried to set one up was, well, the last time!  Completely crazy the 8314 steps which you had to try to go through to get Mac on a virtual machine.  It's almost like they don't want anyone developing anything for their stuff besides them.

Mac has some licensing thing that they only want Mac OS to be ran on Mac hardware. I think VirtualBox is the only VM software that is able to run Mac. I managed to make it work many moons ago but I had an Intel processor and it was incapable of running the Mac environment at any usable speed.

I have not tried this but there's talk about a 1 click Mac Os install on a Linux PC using Sosumi https://www.makerhacks.com/sosumi-easies...tosh-ever/
obviously you need a relatively new PC with good graphics and a decent amount of RAM
< or you could go the hackintosh way, either by do it yourself or buying a Hackintosh PC, believe it or not, there's at least one outfit that sells PC's with Mac Os installed>

I got macOS fully working on bare-metal using: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/
I spent days getting that system (an XPS 7390) to work and can certainly say that it was no easy task.
If anyone has an XPS 7390 and is interested, then I can share my OpenCore EFI with them.
