Point of Sale (POS) touchscreen unit into Bartop Touchmaster machine?
<< < (2/3) > >>
Hoopz:
Do you have everything working on the touchscreen outside of Mame?  Your drivers are correct and update so that in Windows, you can use the screen to open or close files, windows, etc?

Also, it may be easier to get everything setup in Mame using a keyboard and mouse initially.  Then, once it's configured properly, you should be able to do everything using only the touchscreen.  But I wouldn't try setting it up using only the touchscreen to start.  That's much too cumbersome.

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...

The way light guns are handled in mame changed along the way.
Counter-intuitive, but don't enable light guns.  Make sure -mouse is enabled.

Map the axis in MAME like this:

(scroll down about halfway)

The touchmaster games are more processor hungry than you'd expect.

Ok so finally success!!!

1st I downloaded and updated the drivers to the default ones from the POS system vendor:
http://www.mintronix.com/driver.htm

Then setting the touchscreen to mouse emulation (as said in other touchscreen posts)..

I then deleted the mame.ini file and all CFG files in the CFG folder and the individual ini files in the main folder for each Touchmaster game ( I played with both writeconfig on and off)

So with no mame.ini and also erased all the NV files for nonvolatile ram in the NV folder for each game.

started the game up (Touchmaster 5K) and then exited. Mouse was plugged into USB and the ELO touchscreen is hooked up via COM1 serial (internal to POS Touchscreen system).

exit game and open up the config file that is created in the main mame directory.

only changed lightgun to lightgun in input section of the file.

started Touchmaster 5K back up and went into the TAB menu.

It took a while but I mapped the X axis in (This Game) setup by slowly swiping my finger across the X axis (after hitting enter of course).
It took several tries to get it right, otherwise it would map the axis to X and Y.

I left the crosshairs on so that I could see if it was off.

Entered the games service menu and set it to free-play.

Everything is working great on Mame 1.38

Now I need to setup the other games, work on the touchscreen Front End, find some small self powered (or usb) speakers that can be hidden on the back.

Also I need to find what other games would be good. The processor on this runs all of the Magic Touch games at full speed!

Point Blank could be fun?

Anyone know where to find the Fruit machine emulators and any IGT slot machine emulators ???
