Project Information
Sonic the Hedgehog - Mousealog is a modification of Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Mega Drive that allows the player to use any modern analog stick controller to control the character using the mouse peripheral on Bizhawk.
While this project was made with the Analog stick in mind, support for mouse controls are available (might be fun using the Mega / SEGA mouse upside down like a trackball).
Special thanks : Plutidev for the generous ammount of documentation available that makes implementing the mouse peripheral easy.

>Setting up Bizhawk for Analog controls<
Make sure you have the latest version of Bizhawk.
Open the ROM, then go to "GEN" and click on "settings".
Go to the "Sync Settings" tab and change "Control Type - Left Port" to "Mouse".
Go to "Emulation". and select "Reboot core".
Go to "Config". and select "Controllers...".
Under the "Normal Controls" tab and "Player 1" subtab, setup your controller buttons, where Left, Center and Right correspond to A, B and C on a normal Genesis/Mega Drive controller.
Under the "Analog Controls", for P1 Mouse X, click on the "Bind!" button and hold left or right. Do the same for Y but hold up or down.
Set sensitivity to 50% or higher (DO NOT USE 100% OR HIGHER OR YOU MAY HAVE DROPPED INPUT).
If the controls are flipped in-game, click on "Flip Axis" for the corresponding axis to correct this.
Enjoy?
