Could you make it possible to add cards that pushes keys and joypad buttons? it would be awesome for teknoparrot where you push a key or joypad button to insert an emulated card.

I am using windows 10 and i got the same error as you (among others) before i figured out the correct settings.

I really struggled to get my ACR122U card reader working with windows. Here's a guide. 1. Turn on Smart Card Plug and Play service via regedit; Registry Hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\ScPnP Value Name EnableScPnP Value Type REG_DWORD Enabled Value 1 Disabled Value 0 2. plug in the card reader 3. install this driver: https://www.acs.com.hk/en/driver/3/acr122u-usb-nfc-reader/ Check in device manager that your card is found and named ACR122 Smart Reader. 4. Edit your services like in this screenshot: Right click the service and apply as seen here. 5. Reboot. 6. Install the launchbox cli-launcher plugin by following the readme found in the archive here: 6. Intall the NFC launcher found here; Follow the instructions in the thread. 6. Scan a card, this will install the smart card drivers, that's why we enabled smart card plug n play. 7.Launch launchbox 8. Right click a game, and select program nfc card (not the exact wording, but i am not at the arcade computer atm). 9. Scan the card again, the game should now launch.

And now that we have it working nicely... i got this idea... Wouldn't it be awesome if bigbox went into a kind of screen saver mode with an animation or so prompting the user to scan a card to play?

Super smooth implementation, i love it!

Woohoo! Will test after work!

any news? 😃

This would be very good to have in my case as i host highscore competitions!

superrob3000: nice! this is what i was secretly hoping to read! let me know if you need a tester. i just ordered a reader and some cards!

I am looking for this as well!

Awesome! I am also running a cab at work, this is just what i needed!

I have this problem as well, always had.

No shmup players using bigbox? Come on!

I hsd this issue when my windows 7 install wasn’t up to date. Are you up to date?

I am really struggling to find a vertical startup video for my shmups cab. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
