Hi there,

starting with the ones you have got running as standalones, have you tried the itbox or inde emulators? Either one of these normally adds credits to the games, not many actually use the IND:E Platform Emulator, and some also use itboxserv. Look at Aladdins list on here, https://www.arcadepunks.com/gameslist/, as it shows what goes with what. I would get as many running separately as possible, remembering what emulator goes with each game before using simple touch,putting the working ones into a separate folder. You use the FEconfig program in SimpleTouch first, and if you got all your working games in one folder you can add them all at once. Put the menu pics from each game in the snapshots folder, and name them exactly the same as the game itself and they will show up (Click the add image at the bottom to add). You can tell ST which emulator to use with each game, so it runs them for you. There is a test button, so you can test whether it will work without leaving the config section. If you get them running in FEconfig and the image snaps are in the bottom corner you should be good to go.

Hi Andy,

the pack you have mentioned hasn't been released yet, but will probably be the easiest way into this scene if you are a complete noob! The pub touchscreen games you remember are (mostly) still available on this website, any of the complete packs with itbox, paragon or  inde will have lots of files to use. Each game usually requires a credit emulator to be run beforehand, Aladdins list tells you which credit emulator to run with each game, and which os it will run on. Basically, run the exe in a game folder after running the correct credit emulator, you'll be playing individual games in no time! (You will probably have to put some files into your system folder too, get the dll pack and runtime pack from the touchscreen section here).

Simple Touch frontend is the go to front end for touchscreen as it can be configured to show the games like the pub machines used to, and can be configured to run credit emulators or game specific parameters at the same time.

Any problems mate, I'll try and help, i'm on here quite often.

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Andy,

glad you are getting there with the games now. I haven't ever had your pins error, and I'm not sure what version i'm using off the top of my head, but I have a couple of related questions for you. When you click the space in the bottom right of the frontend config screen (the add image section), can you add the snapshots ok from file? Do the snaps then show up in the box? Technically I think the snaps can be called anything, as long as you are pointing to the correct file. Are they in png format? Also, I know people often have problems if they run too many intro videos on the same page at the same time!

Keep us posted.

Dave

Nice one mate. Glad you got it going.
