I would just convert gfx co-ords to granular co-ords (since everything seems to operate on the text mode font size) and apply. if mousex == row25.. etc.

make a note of where menus are drawn and store+test mouse hits on that row/col..

I’m disliking the Mouse engine also when testing the cheats. No I’m not fully RE’ing it, just looking at how the graphics are packed and looking for the cheat codes.

Well maybe I might RE it, but only if I making a program to do most the coding work for me, I can’t be bothered rewriting 100+K of ASM again.

I’ve been thinking about how the mouse should interact in CotAB, but I’m not sure I like how it works in PoD. Also DOSBox runs it really slow, I may need to tweak the settings to allow it to run faster.

You are RE’ing POD now? hmm uses the last edition VGA engine iirc.. DQK, POD, TSF, BRMQ. and FRAU.. I like the VGA/Mouse engine the least :/
