DOSBox-Pure Firestick; Main device mouse arrow won't go away in the game

Hi, I'm running RetroArch for firestick with DOSBox-Pure, is there a way to hide the main mouse cursor in firestick after my bluetooth mouse syncs to my firestick, so that the mouse device can control the in-game mouse? I don't seem to have a problem at all with this on Mac or PC if I put Retroarch in Full Screen mode. The mouse cursor then disappears and I'm left with mouse functionality internally in the game menu moving the game cursor. But this doesn't seem to the be the case with Firestick. I even tried putting RetroArch into Full Screen mode but it didn't fix it. Any ideas? thank you.

This needs to be reported on RetroArch as it is not something the core has any influence over. https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues

This was recently mentioned on the libretro discord (here) and that person suggested this stackoverflow posting as potentially containing a solution which I guess needs to be implemented in RetroArch.

If you end up creating an issue on the RetroArch repository, post the link here.

Looks like an issue report for it already exists on the RetroArch side: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/14016

Yep, thank you @schellingb. I just seen it in the RetroArch Discord channel as well.

RetroArch for Android had a bunch of changes done regarding this recently. I'm closing this issue here now, if there's anything else we can start a new issue.
