[RESOLVED] Touchscreen option does not work (Win 10, Mame)

[Antiram]

Hello

I just tried Gamex Arcade to build up my Mame Windows 10 quad core PC with touch screen support but it does not work as expected..

My PC is a Windows 10 64 bit machine with an Acer 27" touch screen (full HD, touch is win 8.1 compatible)  and a benq beamer (full HD).

The NVidia GTX 970 runs these both displays in clone mode but most of the time the touch screen display is used single.

The 10 point/finger touch screen is running here since windows 8.1 was released for some years and is working without problems in different apps/games.

 

The Problem:

I was unable to use my windows compatible touchscreen with mame 64 (v191) and then i read about gamex to be a touch solution for this problem.

When I try to configure Gameex arcade (Setup Wizard configuration guide) I do not find the option for tousch screen devices .

There is no touch screen / tablet setting under the input section so I´m not able to configure something.

At the moment I have installed the free version of Gameex Arcade and what I read about it was that it should support touch devices as well.

 

I would like to use the gameex frontend with touch and hope to run some lightgun/trackball games also with touch screen.

 

Anybody can help ?

Regards

Just a thought...Maybe the free version doesnt have full touch screen support?

No there is written:

Standard Features = not registered version:

-Full Touchscreen and Tablet PC support

 

I would buy it if this is the problem but as far as I read it should already work in the free version.

That is GameEx, not GameEx Arcade.

It may be that GameEx Arcade supports touchscreen, but since it was designed with dedicated cabinets in mind, it may not.

In GameEx setup wizard there is an option for "enable touchscreen support" and it may be present in GameEx Arcade as well, but I don't  have it in front of me to confirm.

Couple of things:

No GameEx AE is not intended to support touchscreen.

GameEx is flagged as having touchscreen support but its the usual story of it depends on emulators whether its supported externally.

PS: Iv'e been dragging my feet on it I am afraid but there is a new touchscreen front end solution in the works. So if you end up with another solution I recommend checking back here once in a while.
