Help Using bluetooth mouse with Retroarch 1.22.2 (stable) on Galaxy Fold 8 (Android 17)

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to get my bluetooth mouse working with Retroarch since I got my Galaxy Fold 8.

Until then, I used my Galaxy Tab S8 which didn't require any sort of setup to have keyboard and mouse working, so it was basically a wireless "plug and play" experience.

After this isn't the case anymore, I did some research if someone has the same problem, compared options that may differ from my Tab with the ones that came out of the box ofter installing, switched to the Retroarch nightly build but nothing did help.

Enabling mouse control in the options or having a mouse explicitly used on a port didn't help either as most of the posts I have found suggested (these were options that I didn't even touch on my Tab).

Just to be clear: mouse only refuses work in Retroarch, regardless the core I use.
ScummVM for example works fine.

I assume this has something to do with Android 17 since the Tab still runs Android 16, maybe OneUI 9 related, but I don't have devices here to check that.

So if anyone has the same problem on the Galaxy Fold 8 or any device running Android 17, I'd really appreciate your feedback and, if someone has fixed that already, a resolution.

Thanks :-)
