Quiz machine front end help!
« on: September 01, 2022, 07:09:25 pm »
Hi all
I’m a complete noob with arcade machines, I have just bought a quiz machine that has been set to free play, using Windows XP, it’s come with a plethora of games installed, but they are just icons on the screen, how do I get the thumbnails on the main screen? Sorry if this sounds rudimentary! Also, what cabinet is this? Is it a Paragon one?

SimpleTouchFE might be a good one for this.  Not sure if there are still copies floating around out there though.

There's some good info and download links for the front end and skins on the developer's website.
