Hello everyone!
I looked for this thread elsewhere, but couldnt find any useful info.
In emulating touchscreen games such as Touchmaster, it seems useful to be able
to use a touchscreen! Well, upon booting the rom, and 'allowing mouse input', the game now recognizes a screen press. The problem, though, is that it only detects the touch in the same area each time.
There are crosshairs you can toggle with F1 that show you where the touch will register, though the crosshairs cannot be moved via the touchscreen. Like you cant slide your finger across the screen and see the crosshairs move with it. For example, if you just boot the rom, and then touch the screen, it will register and take you to the main menu. But only that far, as the touchscreen doesnt detect the location of the touch, only that it has been touched.
But, if you take your mouse, and move the crosshairs to a button, then touch the screen, it will select it. (wherever the crosshairs are.) I have changed every input setting I could think of in trying to fix this issue to no avail.
I am certain my touchscreen is fine, because it works 100% in wXP, & with all other progs (jukebox, etc).
I guess there just isnt any touchscreen support for MAME right now? There just isnt much information on this topic anywhere right now. Is there anything anyone could suggest that I could try?
My specs, 3Ghz P4
1GB ram
touchscreen in COM1 serial port

Thanks all-
