Regarding launching a game with any button. The recommendation would be the same as with the pause/exit. When launching a game, look to Rocketlauncher, specify each of the buttons you’d like to work (as far as I know there isn’t a limit). I don’t have screen shots but if you are having trouble I can provide. Nice work!
After reading this I started looking at Rocketlauncher trying to get my head around how it works. Looks very exciting! Just in the middle of trying to setup new frontend to launch my games etc for Windows 7 setup. I found the forum but guessing I'll need to watch some YT videos etc. Got any good links for new users?
Hmm... I watched a ton of stuff but the videos by Planet Geekdom were the ones I followed. Then for setting up the dynamic marquee I watched a tutorial by MAMEFAN. It took me a long time to figure it all out (started with zero knowledge).
So, I couldn't resist taking a quick video of the ServoStik actually working. I'm quite pleased with myself for getting this to work even though all it amounts to is plugging in a USB cable.
Punch list is down to:
1. Hide Windows 10
2. Put all the junk in the cabinet
3. Wire coin door and coin return buttons (this is separate because there is no coin button on the CP)
4. Install glass over monitor
5. Build and install coin box
Other stuff I'd like to do:
1. Add a metal ID manufacturing plate to the back or top
2. Use the pause button to display controls on per game basis (this is potentially a huge project)
3. Swap out the yellow coin return buttons for red ones (not sure if this is doable)
4. Get very small wireless keyboard/mouse and store just inside coin door for admin stuff
Not much left to do now, unfortunately. I'm really having fun with this project.
