Turn one of these into a... Minitronix MP5000M 15" system http://www.mintronix.com/mp15.htm What kind of obstacles am I going to face? I will have to get some small speakers, but what about the FE and the fact that it has no buttons? But Magictouch 5k or 4k or whatever into freeplay sure.. But what am I missing. I am looking to buy a bunch of these used and convert them into bartop units for friends. |

One of the issues that could pop up is what type of processor it has in it. I have a POS machine (I don't have the specs with me to compare) but it runs a VIA processor. I tried a few different things but it doesn't have the cpu power to run a lot. I eventually just put jukebox software on it and gave it to my daughters for music. Pulled up the link and it runs a Celeron-M which could be ok for older versions of Mame. You'll need to use MAWS to find out in what version the Touchmaster roms were added and see which you can get running on it. You can set Windows to boot right into Mame and launch a particular rom so you wouldn't need buttons. |

Simple Touch FE is a great front end to launch other programs. It is designed for Touch Screens. I use it to allow my jukebox to be used with more than just a juke program. |

I loaded XP on the POS system, loaded drivers and it run TouchMaster 5k smooth... I am having some trouble getting the touch screen to register in-game. I'll play with the ELO drivers and the mame.Ini settings tomorrow. The version is mame 1.38 |

So no luck today... So the touchscreen in this unit is connected via COM1 so its a serial connection. The touch screen can move around the "TAB" menu in a game, but even with lightgun enabled I don't get any response. Anyone have the INI settings exact for a ELO touchscreen in mame? Should I use a different mame version.(on 1.38 right now)? I feel like I am close but just barely missing something... |
