Seems a little crazy but....

I wanted to add some fruity goodness (no 5-a-day) to my gamebox setup.
The games in question have no menu or exit buttons but can be exited by pressing esc.

using glovepie = http://glovepie.org/glovepie.php
Tapping the top left corner of the screen will ALT-TAB (this solved my Guess who? issue.. BUT is a little unstable)
Tapping the top right corner of the screen will press ESC (can exit some games EXAMPLE Bullion Bars, Party Games Wintime and Reel King Wintime) - I use SimpleTouch FE so i've had to change the exit on ESC to something else.

Here's the script if anyone's interested

debug=mouse.CursorPos
if (mouse.cursorposx >=975.00) and (mouse.CursorPosY <=50) then
key.escape=true
wait 0.1ms
key.escape=false
mouse.cursorposx = 10.00
endif
if (mouse.cursorposx <=50) and (mouse.CursorPosY <=50) then
key.alt+key.Tab=true
wait 0.1ms
key.Alt+key.Tab=false
mouse.cursorposx = 100.00
endif
hidepie

When you run this the GlovePIE window will vanish automatically to stop this remove 'hidepie' from the end of the script.

If anyone else knows of a better solution please let me know!!

Edit - If the screen resolution is not 1024 x 768 you will need to edit the cursor positions.
Run the script and take note of what the debug box says
Don't forget some games change the resolution!

Hi,
I have an issue with Guess Who? you see the loading screen but then the game dissapears... If i'm running it from Windows Explorer it sets itself behind the window, but if its run from Simpletouch FE the screen goes blank but you get the audio.

Does anyone know of a work around for this?? I've tried AutoHotKey - Alwaysontop... but no joy.

AND

Is there an Emulator for the B3 Bpak machines.. (Rainbow Riches, Elvis top 20 etc..)??

Thanks in advance..

Hi,
I am having issues with the touch screen on my gamebox.
The touchscreen in non-responsive. I have searched the interwebs but so far have not found a definate answer.

The Green LED doesn't light up so I purchased a new controller (Ebay) but that didn't do anything either.

The manuals for the touch screen controller say about powering the device, but I have read a WWTBAM manual which doesn't show otherwise.

If someone could guide me in the wright derection I would be extremely grateful

Hi I recently purchased a Gamebox from Ebay (The games are Weakest Link, Battleships, Strike).
When it loads I get a game key not found error..

The dongle that was supplied fits in the parallel port and has spaces for two ibuttons, but only has one.

Any advice on the dongle would be great or if someone knows of a software hack

Thanks
