OK - a couple of questions:
Firstly, does disabling keypresses in FreeWheel's GUI stop this problem from
occurring? (These games presumably have no scroll gadgets, so even if
phantom scroll events are being generated, if FreeWheel doesn't generate
keypresses from them, the false movement shouldn't occur. )
Secondly, are these games running in PAL or in a Gfx-card screenmode?
(If the graphics card drivers are leaving the AGA chips running at 31KHz, to
allow high audio sampling rates, then swapping to a PAL screen will screw up
mroocheck.driver's settings, because the AGA frequency will change to 15KHz!)
There is also potentially a clash between lowlevel.library (for CD��
controllers) and both mroocheck.driver and EZMouse's WheelDriver - because
lowlevel.library hits the hardware directly to handle the control pad's
serial shift register. This potential clash shouldn't cause anything worse
than an occasional false button event, though - certainly not phantom
movements...
All the best,
