Jukebox skin for mamewah

(1/2) > >>

papaschtroumpf:
I use Mamewah as a front end for my cabinet and one of my "emulators" is going to be my jukebox (using WinCab, switching over to PartyBox the second it supports arcade controls, because I always wanted an album jukebox rather than a song jukebox).
Anyhow, I need to make a "skin" for the jukebox entry in mamewah, so I'm looking for pictures of jukeboxes, vinyls, etc.. that I could paste together to make basically what amounts to a pretty picture, since there will be only one "ROM" in my jukebox "emulator".
Any good sources for pictures?
Thanks

Google images, mebee?
 Can't figure out what site I found this one on, but I used it for my (admittedly less than creative) mamewah juke layout.

but it does match the others.

Thanks! I ended up doing something similar to your skin using the "starlite" jukebox posted in the "interesting jukeboxes" thread on this board.

Mine is "pink" in tones to match the jukebox picture I had. Did you try mirroring the jukebox so that it faces to the left of the picture?

I did google for art, I just never really thought about altering the colors like you did and I didn't want something too realistic with wood tones. I think I like your jukebox better than mine, so I may redo mine if I can figure out out to turn that picture pink.

I really need to learn how to use paintshop-pro or the gimp because I'm really struggling with the art for my cab (like how to sperate the startlite jukebox form its background) and I really want to spruce up my skins for mamewah.

SpamMe,

I like the MAMEwah jukebox skin you showed.  Is it possible to have it posted on this thread as a layout file for download and ready to go with MAMEwah.  I am not into creating my own skins yet, I would really like to "borrow" yours until I do.  Thanks if that is possible as I also need a skin for jukebox in MAMEwah to go with other console/MAME skins.

Here's my current attempt. You can see that my original idea was almost identical to yours, mostly a different color scheme. Mamewah puts "Open the Jukebox" in the blank space at the bottom (that's the name of the "ROM").
I'm not happy with the text but could not figure out how to do "neon" text in PaintShop Pro. I remember using the free online service (basically a web script into the Gimp) that would generate titles for your web page in a bunch of different styles. Maybe I could find it again and it may have an option to do neon...


This was my previous attempt with the "startlite" jukebox. I don't think it works in quite as well, which is why I did it over with the picture you provided:
