Megatouch force software running on touchscreen pc ?
Kevin Mullins:
I looked all over the place for stuff from him and never saw that. :P
I think it's funny that he added his name to the Development Team list.
(I'm sure Merit wouldn't think it's funny)
But anywhere you see the name Tristan Schaap.... then he's played with it.
Erant:
Yes, this is the Megatouch Force 2007.5 running on a normal, touchscreen enabled PC. The PC is a 1GHz, 512MB RAM unit, with an i810 chipset. It has a 3M MicroTouch capacitive touchscreen.
The software has been modified to accept input from the parallel port instead of the USB board, which is why you see me pressing arcade buttons to input tokens, and access the operator setup.
And that's about as much as I'm going to say about it. I've already sent a report of my findings to Merit. I will await their response before answering any questions.

I just had to reply to this, as it has a lot of irony in it. The unit you see that's running the software? That's a topbox from an IGT ReelTouch unit. Hacked to run normal software.

I thought that looked familiar. ;)

For the life of me I can't understand why they don't release a retail windows version of these games, they would sell millions of copies at $50 and wouldn't hurt their bar sells one bit.
Kevin Mullins:
Ah.... but then they couldn't sell their little units for rediculous amounts of money.
Megatouch still updates and upgrades and all. (expensively)
Midway went into a slump on their machines so they sellout and offer some of their software for things like the Nintendo DS and such.

Has most of the same games on my Inifinity which came out a few years back and has no updates or upgrades since.
