[corrupt27]

Hey guys,
  I have been looking everywhere and i am lost.  I am attempting to create a touch screen bar top and i need help finding the best front end. Also i would like to know of any good touch screen games for the machine.
There will be no buttons on the aracade it will be all touch screen.
Thanks guys for your help!

I have not used it myself in a cab as I use older PCs and it is resource dependant. It is on my desktop PC and it looks great.


It states in that above link "he way the GameEx user interface is designed, it should also work very well with Touch Screen displays."



Hope this helps

Madcaps from Reflexive works great on a touchscreen as do many of the others.

damn, I meant to post in this thread...

How would the front end work for this?

I don't use a front end for the touchscreen.    Just boot into my jukebox and when I exit I have a couple of icons on the windows screen that look like the games.  Just double touch the one you want and away you go.   Slots machine for slots and a small icon that looks like a megatouch for some of the touch screen games like madcaps.  Hide the bar and clear all the other icons and you can hardly tell it is windows xp

Maybe I should create a simple one when I have time (which would been includning the source)?

This was could easyli screw up the icon, since they easiy can been moved around. Here it should not been hard to write a very simple application to run these games which can touch the game icon to run the game (and double toucj sound bad idea, I remember a setting in Explorer could change to just touch it once)...

And... Maybe I should create such a very simple FE to running games from a table like view? If Ido, I might create one both for Linux and Windows.

Recommered game: A game called ClickBeat is a another good game, which should very good on touchscreen (maybe only have few issues with the song selection). It a DDR like game, when you using mouse clicks (touch) instead of joystick (Dance Pad). Note I have released 2 ClickBeat songs as a fan of the game.
