I agree with Vorlon, another way to look at what you are trying to do here,
is running a Emulator inside a Virtual Machine which is basically and
emulator.. WinUAE has a switch for the mouse but to be honest, it is just not
worth the aggravation of trying to get the mouse to work perfect. I run my
CNet Amiga on a dedicated machine, I picked it up for $30 on eBay as a lease
turn in. You can get away with an Pentium 4 if needed, mine is an i3 with 4
gigs of ram 240 meg SSD.. I run WinUAE in Windows 10, and emulate a A4000
with maxed out peripherals (Memory, video etc.) It's super fast and runs real
well. You might want to look at doing it that way, you can use the machine
headless if you want, I dial into mine via RealVNC and have NO issues at all.
RDP is another story, when you exit RDP it will reset WinUAE thus killing the
BBS.. Hope that helps a little..
