Just another update for you guys... I've installed everything on my touchscreen win7 setup and all is working fairly nice (bar a couple of simpletouchfe issues), however I just tried to install the same package on another Win7 setup and I'm getting errors, there must be some dependencies I've forgot about. Well either that or it's a gfx card issue so more testing needed before I can upload to the masses. If I don't speak to you before then Happy Christmas, hope you all have a very drunken one playing on your machines.

Oh man real life sucks, it gets in the way of all my little projects :-(

Well I've got to build a PC for someone over the next couple of weeks so what I'm planning on doing is working out what games work with sonar for non-touchscreen units and I'll also do a simpletouch thing for that. I noticed you can get an extra 500MB allowance with dropbox everytime someone signs up via a referral link so that could be an option for sharing with you guys.

If anyone wants to help out the cause and improve my dropbox allowance then please follow this link as I'm currently only on 3gb (we need about 16gb) http://db.tt/ez45WWCC

@rorysean: Where in Essex are you? That's where I am so I may be able to copy it onto a HDD for you.

Ok people I'm now done testing and am going to add the games to a SimpletouchFE menu, the games are sorted into:

Card Games
General Quiz
Music
Picture
Skill
Sport
TV Show / Movie
Word Games

I've deleted the duplicates and just kept the ones which work best on my Win7 setup. The non-working ones I have in a folder with descriptions of any known errors - these can be further investigated at a later date. I think I'm missing a few from Cliffs Repo, I had a HDD failure last year and some files were corrupted - it wasn't many but I think there were a handful of games so is there a full list somewhere as Cliffs Repo still appears to be down?

Now the big question is this... What's going to be the best way of sharing these files with you? I could setup an ftp server but my upload speeds are pretty poor and it would kill my network (the package is ~15GB and that's excluding the "non-working" titles) so any suggestions?

Well thought I may as well introduce myself on here too. Never really been much of a fruit machine nut myself, I was getting very addicted to them in my youth so went cold turkey when I was about 14 so I could spend more money on beer and football... well that was over 20 years ago and now my liver is wishing I'd just stuck to fruit machines!

Anyway I got lots of help when browsing the forum on here a year or so ago when making my first arcade cab with touchscreen and I wanted to add the pub quiz games... thought it was about time I gave something back to the community so I'm going to see if I can help out in any way. Currently testing all of the SWP games and will post the compatibility results up as soon as I'm finished, might even look into sticking something up on a server with all the correct configurations. Once that's done I think it's about time I added fruit machine emulation to my new arcade unit so where do I start guys and gals? Briefly looked into it a year or so ago but got very confused so I think I'll just start from scratch.

BTW, thanks go to everyone that's posted useful info on this forum - you've all made my life so much easier, the missus is addicted to those pub quiz games so I get plenty of peace and quiet

Ok here goes, I think this is everything that I've installed to make the games work. Goodwin894 can you try installing these things and let me know whether or not it's working for you? There are a couple of other packages not included in that link but I'm fairly certain they're for my 3d monitor and they are also quite large so didn't include them. If it's still not working I'll upload those files too.
