What is MouseJail ?

It's a universal game patch for the multi-monitor users. During a fullscreen game, MouseJail captures the mouse into the primary monitor.

Some games (like "sunden strike" or "GT3") don't capture the mouse into the primary monitor. So when you move your mouse, you can see the mouse cursor on your second or third monitor, and if you click, you quit the game. Arrrg !!

How to use MouseJail :

  • Copy "MouseJail.exe" in your windows directory (C:\WinNT or C:\Windows). (or in a directory accessible in the "PATH" environment variable).
  • Edit the properties of your game shortcut on your desktop, or in your start menu.
  • Insert at the start of your "Target" field : "MouseJail.exe" ( for example : "C:\GTAIII\gta3.exe" => "MouseJail.exe C:\GTAIII\gta3.exe").
  • That's all ! :) - Enjoy !

    Title: Compatible to Windows XP SP2? [2008-03-28]
    Hello,

    I tried your tool with a german game named "Transport Gigant" (english version s. th. like "Transport Giant"), but id did not worked.

    So, my system is Win XP SP2, Radeon 2900 XT with Catalyst 8.3 .. but I think graphics is not relevant, its the system that does this job - or ignores it.

    Regards,
    Nicolas
    Sorry about that :(
    I'll try this game ...

    Title: Esacpe Key [2008-10-01]
    Can you make an escape key like ctrl+alt ?
    This would allow the mouse to escape the jail, and move into the other screen. And if you clicked it again the mouse would be jailed again.
    This would be awesome!

    Title: Doesn't seem to work anymore [2009-02-14]
    1st, the readme doesn't appear to be for MouseJail.
    2nd. I can't get it to work on any of my games on a Windows Vista 64 bit computer.

    I know that it use to work when I had Windows XP and used it ages ago, would love to see it work with Vista for games such as Rise of Nations which doesn't contain my mouse, and the upcoming Grand Ages: Rome
