Title: Find a game
Post by: empardopo on March 14, 2016, 06:23:10 AM

Is it possible to find a game without use the keyboard?
I'm going to use AM in a cabinet, and I would like to be able to find a game without use the PC keyboard.

Thanks in advance.

As a mentalist I tell you : you're on windows

-shortcuts/key sequence by input-software (JoyToKey, and so on); (one input for each alphabet and all numeric numbers) 
-windows speech recognition
-windows virtual keyboard (set a special shortcut/key sequence to start windows virtual keyboard)
-free virtual keyboard software (http://freevirtualkeyboard.com/)

Sorry, you are right. At this moment, I'm using windows.

I do not have enough buttons on my arcade for the entire alphabet.  ;D
-windows speech recognition
Interesting option but I don't know how I can implement it. (program to use, ect)
-windows virtual keyboard (set a special shortcut/key sequence to start windows virtual keyboard)
Is it possible to assign a shortcuts to run this virtual keyboard from AM?

Thanks very much.

-Joytokey
Sorry. I mean : you set in AM filter for each alphabet and numeric numbers. Set shortcut for 'Next Filter' in AM by pressing a special joystick-combination

-windows speech recognition:

-windows virtual keyboard:
set joystick buttons as alphabet in joytokey
-Start > type : on-screen keyboard > right mouse button > properties > shortcut > shortcut key

It's a pain, AM does not includes this possibility.
I'll take a look all your options.

Thanks
