| Exiting Mame with no Buttons on Cab (Touchscreen) |
| (1/5) > >> |
| Hewskie:
Hello, I'm in the process of designing my touchscreen Juke/ Touchmaster player while I wait for all the parts to arrive in the mail and I've run into a problem. After launching a Mame game from xlobby, I need to hit esc to return to the front end. Does anyone know a simple way close mame without adding a pushbutton to the machine? I remember reading about a mouse macro that could generate a keypress by moving the mouse in a prerecorded pattern, but I can't find anything on the subject at the moment. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. (PS - I will probably be posting a thread in the Project Announcements very soon so look out!) (edit: changed subject title) |

You could map it so you can hit a combo of inputs to exit out. |

If all else fails, mount a discreet small button somewhere out of sight and create a simple keyboard hack. This may offer other uses if you discover new needs for the machine or want to expand functionality. |

One other option is to have a tiny separate application that is always on top. This app has one button which generates an escape click when pressed. Then you don't need any hardware buttons. |
