It would be more nice with images of MSX's mouse and joypad.

Wow! Cool!

I tried some tests. I found that one of the problems.

Baby Dinosaur Dooly Link

Baby Dinosaur Dooly was executed on WebMSX MSX2+ all mode. But, Not running in other modes.

Please fix.

Which MSX brand and which mouse? Probably other people will not like the same one you like!
Also, I want to be able to use all buttons available on modern Joysticks, for instance. Not just 2.

WebMSX emulates imaginary, generic machines. It does not try to simulate specific brands or models.
So everything you see is abstract, and not real.

Also, those are not images! They are drawn dynamically. I want to be able to change the buttons available, according to the mapping used, etc.

The most popular joypads are the Sony or Panasonic (used on BlueMSX), the mouse is Sony or Philips.

This is not a problem if you are doing so that we can configure the PC's joypad buttons as MSX's keys. It is also preferable to display a MSX keyboard to define keys as you did. Logically you must do that also for the mouse and the joypad.

Virtual or not, this is a MSX.

Maybe someone can help. I'll see if I find something.

Yes, it is! How can I let the user configure 8 HOST Gamepad buttons if I display an old joypad with only 2 buttons?

I think you did not understand. I want to be able to change the controllers appearance dynamically. I do not want to use images.
