petejc:
does anyone out there know of a good looking software (as non-windows looking as possible) that has line in capability?  i don't want to fork the money out for a FM card, so i want to use a small radio and run it through the sound card.  Right now, all the program i use (Ultimate arcade, MAMEWah, and Arcade Jukebox) are "window less", and a want to keep it that way!

thanks

Billabong:
With my soundcard, all I have to do is go to the mixer control panel, and un-mute the line in. Then, whatever I have connected to it plays back, even if no application is running. Infact, it's doing it right now!

Actually, this should work for almost any soundcard.

Later,
Bill

that would work if i could use windows shortcuts, but i cheated and changed my system.ini file to go to ultimate arcade instead of explorer.  looks good, but i now see the limitations of doing that.  i guess i could try to write a batch file to do that and have utimate arcade point to that.... hmmm...

If you go back to regular Windows explorer, and un-mute, it should stick no matter what your shell is.
I don't run UA, but I'll test it out with something else when I get home (at work now).

they only problem with un-muting the line-in is that a wanted to have the radio turn on when i power up my cabinet, but i don't want to hear the radio until i select it.  so what i need is a batch file that will un-mute line-in, maybe display a certain wallpaper (whatever, nothing fancy) and at close (hopefully with escape!) will mute line-in and and change the wallpaper.  it not like i'm asking for the world or anything!
