Every site I visit has ads, hence the adblocker extension in my browser lol.
I'm pretty sure everyone has some form of adblocker installed.
Get over it and move on, and be thankful that you have so many slot games for free.

I was just wondering if there are any sites or hacks, where you can create/build your own keyboard.
I have my own home built machine which is touch screen however I would like to add some form of keyboard to it to use it for buttons. I don't have enough room for buttons as its built within an old touchscreen quiz machine.
The space I have is around 8 inches wide by inches depth, so a custom keyboard for this area would be great!

Here we have a release of my personal software used on my touch screen home built fruit machine which I said I would share.
It's about 90% done, all's I need to implement to it is a jukebox which is functionable using just the touch screen (any suggestions on this will be helpful).
When you load TouchLaunch.exe if you press F12 you get more options, i.e. where the Emulator.exe is and your games folder, the game folders must be named as per the attachment or it won't recognize them. If you add your own games, within the game folder must be a thumbnail.jpg for it to display the thumbnail of the game. ESC closes it.
As this is for my own use, I have only set it up for my needs and welcome any suggestions to improve it.
Feel free to use or modify it in anyway.

Yep I had the same issue, but I thought it was me.

Very good, when I made mine I used a touch screen so avoided all the wiring up.
When I make another machine i'd probably use buttons so a wiring diagram would be useful from you.
It's also good that you can recycle old buttons, probably pick them up at a fair price.

I want to build another now lol. Probably in a jpm cabinet with one 0f those all in one pcs in portrait mode.
There will be a lot more space.
The only issue I have now is where my coins go when the hoppers full, in a new build I could take that in to account, I'd also have 3 hoppers, a 10p one as I could put more games on it but at £50 each this maybe on the back burner for a while.

I used to use hot virtual keyboard on a bent serial key but that kept closing itself every 30 minutes telling me to register, damn thing!
Posted by RHM on 09 March 2020 - 09:27 AM in New Releases
so... maybe tab to select games and enter to load them?

Hi, I need a permanent on screen keyboard with just 3 keys on it. An ESCAPE key and a volume up/down key positioned to the top right of the screen (always on top) and to start with windows.
Can anyone do that?

As per the title this is a release of the first BETA version of my Fruit Machine Loader.
A bit of background about this...
I have my own home built touch screen (old quiz machine) fruit machine and wanted some custom software to run the games but thought it could be of some use to the scene at the same time.
When you load up TouchLaunch.exe press F12 and you will presented with a menu to select the emulator path and where your games are located.
For the front end to display images of the machines you much have within your specific game folder a picture of the machine and it must be saved as 'thumbnail.'
Pressing ESC closes the front end, rolling the mouse wheel to the right scrolls the games up and down.
Please provide feedback!!!!

I had endless trouble with it.
With this (an alternative) feedback, suggestions etc. we can customize it the way we like.

This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I said I would share it.
I have designed this for myself and those people using a touch screen, obviously the idea is that you don't need to use a mouse or keyboard.
I have my own home built fruit machine (an old quiz machine) and wanted some custom made software to load games.
At the moment it's in the early stages (see screen shot). The idea is that when my machine boots it automatically loads this and you can select which game you want to load and it loads it.
I have an on screen keyboard in the top right of my screen, an X to close the current game and a volume up down button. I'm using HOT VIRTUAL KEYBOARD, I will upload the file I have made which I use if that's of any use at some point.
This so called platform will also work on non touch screen PC's, a roller mouse scroll will scroll the page and a click of the mouse will load a game. Pressing ESC closes the program, pressing F12 loads up the platforms search criteria.
When setting up by pressing F12 you select the default installation path of the emulator, what background image you are using (in my case some dice) and where your .gam files are.
I'll release a BETA version at some point, and if people are interested FEEDBACK will be very much appreciated as I said I would share it. Maybe it will be of some use to people in general and those who are building their own machines!

FEEDBACK prior to a BETA release will be appreciated!!!

When I top up with fuel I generally put 20.00 litres in which is £23.78.
This annoys the wife something chronic because she puts £20.00 in, which is 17 litres or so.
I explained that when you buy a bottle of pop you don't buy £1's worth of pop you buy 2 litres worth of pop and pay the appropriate price like £1.09.
She doesn't get it.
