Maybe it's time for 3rd party software writers to start making software for these machines?

Your better off replacing the mobo inside with a more up-2-date mobo and install windows 8. Im sure theres plenty of touch screen games out now since the iphone and ipad. just seems pointless for any software dev to waist his time on such old hardware. (mobo)

Well i know theres a few for android, and theres also windows 8 smart phones. There is also the windows 8 flip and the windows 8 surface pro that competes with ipad.

As an op I haven't switched to the Megatouch Live yet. I'm updating most Ion's, Aurora's, and RX's to the 2014 and I'll be good until at least the summer of 2015. I'll just kick the can down the road so to speak. I'm good at making these "bulletproof" and hopefully I can make these last until then, and hopefully by then there will be something new out there.
I link almost every megatouch and JVL I have to my TouchTunes boxes. Probably 50 or so linked up. Locations like it and it seems to work good. It's the only way you can get cash in a touchscreen but those days are numbered since Virtuo can't link up and I'm sure if there is a Gen 4 box it won't link either. I can only run gen 3 for so long and locations love that Virtuo. I also fear that JVL will cease to exist taking their servers with them. If a JVL Retro/Vortex/Encore, etc doesn't communicate to JVL servers within 5 days you lose your jukebox link. Stupid.
My history of Megatouch is as follows:
The Sales rep tells you this: "OH, the Maxx's don't have the problems that the XL's had. Oh, the force's don't have the problems that the Maxx's had. Oh, the EVO gets so hot it can cook eggs. Oh, the ION's don't have the problems that the EVO's had. Guess what, the Aurora's don't have the problems that the ION's had".
R.I.P.
