Help needed with the other Room games

[AussieWolfhound]

Little off-topic but i'm sure someone here will know. I got the first 2 Room games on my PC and they work perfect. As you all know the third and fourth however weren't released on PC but only to Android and IOS, leaving me no choice but to have to purchase them on my S4. I did that and figured out how to screen-mirror them to my tv so i could play them on my big tv like i did the first 2 games and i know that Android's support mouse connections via an adapter (which i bought today) but no matter what i try i can't get the mouse to work how i want it to.

On the first 2 games, the left mouse button interacted with everything in the game and the right mouse button was how you zoomed out (easy enough) With the 3rd and 4th however, you use your finger on the screen to do everything the left mouse button did and you zoom out by doing the pinch maneuver.

Anyway I connected a mouse to my S4 and a cursor comes up and moves around the screen, but all it let me does is click on icons to open them and the right button simply exits the app. I can start The Room Three and Four (Old Sins) and the cursor will come up, but left-clicking does nothing and right-clicking simply takes me back to the desktop.

All i want is somehow to be able to use the mouse that is now connected to my S4 in the same manner i did with the first 2 games here on PC (ie. left button interacts with the environment and the right button zooms out) I'm FAR from a techy person but surely there must be some setting or app i can download that will emulate the The Room 3's controls and Old Sin's controls to the mouse buttons so i can just play them like normal?

Mobile versions rely on multi-touch, that's why they're not compatible with single mouse.
Why don't you just play them with touches as intended? In Android OS developer options you can activate showing touches on the screen, that was you likely would be able to play it on big screen without looking at tablet.

I did a similar thing: installed Room 1 on portable projector that in running on Android. Air mouse(remote control) was not working as well, only two "air styluses" did. To explain what i mean: https://designbd.ru/uploads/articles/1024/800x800_1/1513033759_4.jpg two those white sticks.
So you need something that can emulate two touches. I dunno can it be done with two mice or not.

A sidenote: Room 1 also requires orientation sensor for 1 puzzle. So i wasn't able to finish it on a tablet with that sensor broken. Don't remember if Room 3 requires it.

@Ryuu All good mate. I figured out a much better way to handle this. It turned out that what i described with the mouse and adapter is exactly how it's supposed to be. A usb mouse isn't supposed to act like a controller... how i described it simply opening and closing apps is all it's supposed to be for (I was told that’s for incase your screen gets smashed and you can't be bothered having it fixed or getting a new phone)

What i did instead was download an emulator called MEmu which works perfectly and gives me the exact same graphic quality on my nice big tv that the PC versions did. Also it actually let me sign in with my real Google Play account... so i simply re-downloaded both games instead of looking for APK files because I had already bought them.

Only problems i encountered were… 1. I still had to do the pinch maneuver to zoom out and also the multi-touch thing. I fixed both of these with Auto Hot Keys :) I learned that F3 also worked the same as the pinch maneuver, so i mapped that using AHK to the right mouse button, and as for the multi-touch thing... well MEmu has this "single-button" thing where you assign a letter to it (say A for example) then you put one on the screen where you want the input to occur and then press and hold down the letter you chose while you do the other required action with the mouse at the same time.

I figured i might aswell just map A to the middle mouse button with AHK to make it easier. Yeah, so like early on in The Room Three where you need to slide that panel back, hold it and then un-hinge a latch that's under it… well i worked out roughly where the panel will be once it's slid back, put one of those "single button" things on it, then slid it back, held down the middle mouse button and then used the mouse and left button to undo the latch :D I'm guessing that's kinda on the lines of what you were talking about, right?
