Exiting Mame with no Buttons on Cab (Touchscreen)
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!)

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.

That will be your easiest bet. You can go into Mame right now and configure "UI cancel" to be any combination of existing buttons.

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.
