Touch Screen

[Tommy714]

I'm trying to get MAME to recognize my touchscreen.  In Touchmaster 8000 under "Input Assignments" it has a control option for touchscreen.  When I select it, it will not recognize the touch screen.  The mouse pointer moves around, but MAME won't recognize the input.

I saw the one youtube video, but it didn't work for me... any other thoughts?

All I can think of is that the driver is generating the mouse data, i.e. a software mouse emulation, rather than it being actual hardware mouse emulation sending the events.  I believe that RAW mode wants real mouse hardware, so you may need to find a special version of MAME or set a parameter differently to allow it to see the input.

Try turning off multimouse and see if that changes anything.

Been a long time and my knowledge could be outdated, but....

In mame.ini make sure multimouse is not enabled so MAME will use the system pointer instead of raw input.
Also make sure Lightgun is enabled since the mapping menu says lightgun.

Long ago I remember having to carefully drag my finger horizontally when mapping the x axis and vertically when mapping the Y axis.
I don't recall how the touch button worked.  IIRC the PC was running ELO touchscreen software for the old ELO touchscreen that let me set whether to post a mouse click on finger lift or on a double tap.

On a side note, does anyone need an ELO touchscreen setup remote that uses the S-video looking connector?

Hope you have gotten your Mame touchscreen issues worked out. Did you happen to notice that an emulator has surfaced recently for the 2006 version of the Megatouch Maxx software? I personally bought a new Asus 10 point touch monitor from Amazon, then burned the bootable Linux version of the new software to an old SSD I had laying around. Now when my Dad turns on his computer and brings up the UEFI boot menu by pressing F8 he can choose to boot into Windows or boot directly into Megatouch Maxx and it plays perfectly. Sounds like something that may interest you.
