Are there any touch screen friendly games?
« on: February 09, 2017, 03:30:45 PM »
Hi all,

I want to try to hook an Amiga (with SD/FF) onto a Photoplay-case. This is sort of an Arcade cabinet, but with only a touch screen. Normally it houses either a DOS or Windows XP Embedded pc (486 or Celeron).
I've built in some switches (KVM, audio and data for the touchscreen) and this works well on the original pc + a different pc running different software.
But I want to try to see if I can use an Amiga as second computer and play some touch screen friendly games (and find drivers: the touch screen is an ELO serial one). But are there any? They should be mouse games that don't require the right mouse button I guess.

Thanks!

But this *could* work when on a bigger Amiga, let's say A1200 with a 030 or 040, flickerfixer/scandoubler and running Lemmings through WHDLoad. Providing that I can find the drivers.
It's a serial touch screen and I don't have an Amiga with USB ports, so serial would be my only option.

I'm fairly certain that WHDLoad is still going to disable external drivers, so I think you're going to be limited to system-friendly things.

I think emulation might be the best option if you want a touchscreen Amiga that can still run anything you throw at it.


Emulation spoils the idea. If it doesn't work I just do something else ;)
