Its there a way to use touchtunes hardware with windows?
lilshawn:
hey, that's awesome. glad you got to play around a bit with it before moving it onto its new home!
i tried googling around for the software you mentioned, the "rocker touch lite" software, but was not able to find it. can you post a link to where i can see it or download it to try it out. I'm always on the hunt for good software!
FYI, the bare guts amp boards in the virtuo/angelina (icepower 125ASX2) can be had for about 190CAD and touchtunes sometimes sells refurb amps for 104CAD

https://rockbeshop.com/esp/items/98/touch You can buy the software on this link, the downside its in Spanish only, I did asked the developer to see if he could make it in English but he refused. Mythought is ,since in latin countries they don't really persecute this kind of stuff, but USA/Can do, so he wants to stay out of trouble. But if you don't mind playing around with it in Spanish, its cheap, around 35dlls.

Last time i had a touchtunes jukebox, it was a wallmounted juke with some nice led lights that would flash nicely and the software was still active, but it only had like old songs in it. So knowing that touchtunes its very very picky, I installed my own PC with touch if I remember correctly, but I could not found a way to make the led lightsor the amp to work with windows, so I did not had any light show or amp service. Now I found a new deal on market place, and I've always wanted to have one of this jukes, but I'm afraid the same thing would happen. So I was wondering if anyone here knows a way to have a working light show and amp with windows installed. Thanks for your help.

unfortunately that particular jukebox pictured in your post (the angelina) is very highly integrated and you can't separate the parts out.
The computer, the amps, and the IO board is plugged onto a backplane board though multi-pin DIN 41612 and/or IEC 60603-2 connectors to connect power/audio/data/inputs/outputs and whatnot of the individual components to each other.
the amps need a signal from the IO board to power on. this is also sent through the backplane, so if you don't have the touchtunes software running to initialize the IO board, you will never have audio, since the audio is fed out of the computer though the backplane board to the IO board, then out of the IO board through the backplane to the amps.
even if you don't use the amps, you have no way of getting audio out of the computer since the audio flows out off the computer through the backplane. you'd have to peel the computer case apart and tap audio out of the computer directly.
you won't have lightshow because it's also handled by the IO board, the IO board has an LED controller built onto it that sends the signals out to the led strips in the back of the machine, and if you don't have the software to initialize the IO board, you wont get a lightshow.
the IO board connects to the computer through a "USB" connection though the backplane and is what handles the lightshow on the front and back of the machine and switching of the signal to tell the amps to power on... and does the audio conversion needed to feed into the amps.
so unfortunately since the IO handles basically...everything... not being able to initialize it means you can't do anything with the jukebox if you change the software since there is going to be zero support though windows for it since it was designed for linux (which is what the touchtunes OS is based on.)
most of this stuff can be bypassed and made to work in a virtuo or ovation wall boxes and all the floor models since the computers and stuff are all separate... you can even easily fake the signal from the IO board to turn on the amps to use your own audio source or computer in these machines.
you could MAYBE modify the playdium walbox if you are really good with electronics... but definitely not the angelina since those 2 machines devices are so integrated, it's almost impossible to separate...you'd have to gut the angelina of everything but the monitor/touchscreen and put all your own stuff in there.

Is this true for this jukebox?
Product Name : NSM Chameleon Internet Jukebox
Category Type : Jukebox Machines
Manufacturer : NSM Music UK
Windows XP Embedded operating system
• 17" Touchscreen
• 40 GB hard drive
4 Set Speaker connections (2005) Music updated to 2010
It’s in limbo at the moment. It boots up to the jukebox screen but will not accept any coins/credits as there is no credit section in the bottom right hand corner. I have put it into service mode and entered the monetary values for each credit, but it will not save my settings. Selecting a song then just comes up with ‘you have no credit for this selection’.
lilshawn:
as with all internet connected jukeboxes, the jukebox needs to connect to the jukebox makers server to authenticate access.
this is done for 2 reasons.
1: - it allows them to record any settings/info/configuration... whatever that is set or entered into the jukebox...and store it. if and when the day comes, and the hard drive craps out... you replace it, you will then have the ability to restore all the settings/info/configuration back in from the server backup and you don't have to manually enter that info again.
2: - It allows the company to keep track of operator billing information, as well as disable/enable the jukebox if the operator does not pay their bill, or the jukebox goes missing.
so what you have here is a jukebox that may have had it's kill message sent to it to disable it. (why it doesn't take credits)
honestly, just throw a new operating system on it and put your own juke software on it. you will never get the original software running on it without having an operator account with NSM... and even then, they'd want to know how you got it and grill the original operator why you have it... possibly landing the original operator having their account terminated.
