Another first! (Ok, maybe not)

planetjay:
After building and killing the world's first MAME cockpit, I felt it was time for another first. So now it's time for the world's first Jukebox conversion (that I know of). I am now converting an AMI/ROWE R84 to an MP3 Jukebox.

The first picture is in My Gallery and I will be adding more tonight.

Took a while for me to understand the size of your juke.  The tablesaw finally put it into the correct perspective.  Wow is that ever big!  Did you get an amp along with the woofers or was that stipped out along with all the rest?  Is there a workable set of selection buttons that can be used?

planetjay:
It's not that big... It's only about 3 feet wide and between 4 and 5 feet high.  :)

The speakers are the only thing that was in it. I'll be using a car audio amp to start and then when my dedicated, AC Powered amp is done I'll probably swap it in.

The buttons are out for cleaning. Plans are to use a spinner to scroll up and down a playlist and 2 mouse buttons to select songs/directories/playlists and the other go up/back. I'd like to have the software also accept numbers from the buttons too. I also hope to support the built in LED based info panel.

Also I plan on putting a black fire button in the coin return for turning the machine on and off. I found out that there is a Windows XP setting that causes shutdown when you press the power button after Windows XP is running.

Oh. Dual monitors should be installed next week.  ;D

I'm not sure it is a first. Didn't I see pics of a converted NSM Digital THunder on the mameroom.com website?

planetjay:
I did finally find the picture I think you're refering to. It's hard to tell. But that is why I said "(that I know of)". I wish I could get more info about it!
