Remote Control For PC Jukebox

(1/3) > >>

_Iz-:
I found a site selling cheap PC remote controls. ($9.99 canadian, they also ship to the US)    :)

I bought one. Any idea if any of the Jukebox programs mentioned around here can/will support this? I'd really like to use this on my mame cabinet.   ::)

 Presumably that thing will come with the WIRC software I got with my pc remotes I bought on ebay ( $4.95 I think... )... it's Wireless Infrared Remote Control software... a tray app that'll let you program any button on any remote control to do anything on your computer.
 All you need is the infered reciever... I don't know if yours will be compatible with the software but if you don't have anything like it let me know and I'll put it up somewhere and you can try... really nice and really easy to make your remotes do anything, including, yes, run jukeboxes. :)

Thanks for the link to the remote control.   I ordered 2 of them.   Looks like they come with some software but will have to wait to see what it is.  I am going to try to get it to operate the Virtual Jukebox software mentioned in this section of the board.

Got a better picture of the remote so you can see what functions are implemented.



Looks like it will be really handy if it works out.

It comes with an infared receiver that plugs into a serial port and a driver disk.

Hmmm, where was that when I was looking for buttons for my jukebox? It worked out ok since I used a touch screen but that looks good even as a fixed keypad. Maybe velcro it down and then you would have both.

Here's another low cost remote: http://www.pricepc.com/cgi-bin/sku.php?item=9900

I picked one up from here a while ago, had some success getting it working with winamp using third party freeware: http://www.girder.nl/features.php

Maybe the Girder software above will work with your remote?  I can't remember, I played with this stuff so long ago, but I thought you could control anything, as long as you programmed it with the software...I think it could "learn" keypresses or something.  Anyway, it may be worth a look-see....
