Jukebox at 800x600??
« on: April 20, 2006, 12:22:52 pm »
I am working on a MAME cabinet and want to include a jukebox. I will be using a 27" tv for my monitor connected by s-video. My resolution is 800x600. With all of the small text used in jukebox programs can anyone recommend a program that will be more readable than the others?

Thanks

You can also try Arcade Music Box, wich was suited for low resoulutions like 320x240, so it should upscaling to a readable font on a tv.

You can may also try doscab/wincab and SK Jukebox.

There are other software to try out on:

Spacefractal is correct, and unless you are using a touchscreen you might find one of the other options provides a better solution as right now i have not added support for mappable keys for all the functions of the jukebox. This would mean using a mame cab you would need a track ball to operate as a mouse or a touchscreen to use freebox as it stands at the moment.

DOSCab/WinCab will work fine at 800x600 as well.

Yeah try Wincab with one of the the low resolution skins and you won't have to strain to see the text.  Great jukebox program as well!
