My missus can never just have 'one go' on skill ball!!

You need Itbox server and Itbox Emu EXE's. (I got them from Cliffs repro)

It's a bit of a nightmare to play using a mouse though (Hooray for my GameBox).. Also I've only managed to get it working on XP.

Hope This Helps

No external speakers but there is an internal one there abouts.


Hi Anthony, I find on mine that the discolouring goes after a while it is because of the internal speakers.

As with adding games.. you will need a multi-game disc with the correct security dongle to install to the hard drive and play.

OR

You could go down the 'unofficial' route and have loads of games, no security device needed, BUT you'll loose the need for a coin mech. (Unless someone knows of a work around... anyone??)

Mine had three games on it but a faulty dongle. I bought Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and dongle from Ebay and quickly got bored of one game.

Here is mine now..


Good luck what ever you decide to do and you've come to right place for advise!!

@ LemmingMad .............. Guess Who does actually work

Although it is in the PARAGON folder - it will only load up and play when the INDIE sim is running in the background.
Just had it playing on Windows 7 without any problems.


It loads on mine WITHOUT either sim (it just loads £40 in credit).

It brings up the loading screen but to see the game I have to alt-tab to bring it forwards... I've had a go at using AutoHotKey - Alwaysontop function but it didn't work.. I will try some other stuff today.

I tried loading it with indie and itbox sims but both times it did the same thing.

There is an emulator that loads BOTH the ITBOX & INDIE games (without the need to load seperate emulators)

Darn it! Wish I'd known that before I went through and added the Executables to each game that needs it!! (Thankfully I've only put 30 games on anyways!!)

Just out of interest though - what command do you use to launch the emulators in Simpletouch FE, when loading each of the games...

In the games tab of the FE config screen, where you set the location of the games EXE attract icon and such... there is a line there for the location of a pre-game executable. I've set that to the Sim... The pc is configured to load the Itbox server on startup followed by Simpletouch.

(I hope thats the info you ment).

I don't suppose you've come accross anyone getting full coin functions (Either by JPM I/O board or IPAC)??? (Probably a long shot)

daddymac... Glad you got on well with it!! Ah well I'll just delete Guess Who.. as you said there are plenty of other games that do work!! I found a skin for Simpletouch today saying that, Metal I think its called?? If your interested I'll post a link to file....

Just fired up my touchscreen PC and the Guess Who game doesnt work ---- It must just be one of the Paragon games that either has missing/corrupt files or just simply wont play. Never mind, plenty of other games to play on.


Thanks for looking!! Plenty more Fish in the sea / Games on Cliff's Repro :biglaugh:

Jaks... Thanks for your input. Yeah the game loads ok but you have to ALT-TAB to bring it front (Not an issue normally but I'm going for a touchscreen only setup which proves a problem :p ).

I may give the AutoHotKey another shot at somepoint, if I do find a workaround i'll post it on here. (Don't keep your hopes up though).

Thanks to you both though :notworthy:
