Asking for Control Panel (buttons) suggestions / ideas

(1/2) > >>

MPTech:
In another topic, Chris had suggested installing a Coin Mech for a real Juke experience.
That would be cool, but I planned to take a simpler / less expensive / smaller footprint route.  I saw a square lit button that looked like a coin slot, so all they have to do is press the button.  I like your idea though.

I'm trying to get some good ideas for planning the "push buttons" (letters / numbers.
Looks like the default WinCab skin takes 4 letters & 4 numbers. I was also going to install left / right arrows and select / clear buttons on the CP. The power button and Esc would be hidden.

I had another thought too.  Can I create a second WinCab.exe (called WinCab2(?)) that I could set different config settings, so I could config as albums and utilize a different skin and button config?  (all numbers?)

I would really appreciate seeing pictures of other people's Juke Control Panels.  PLEASE post 'em!

Not sure where you are, but here in Aus I got my juke buttons here

They have the button you mentioned as well

As for a 2nd config, I believe you can create a 2nd INI file, and then load it by specifying it at wincab startup.
e.g. 
"wincab jukebox.ini"
or
"wincab jukebox2.ini"
etc


also, see here for my current jukebox

Karaokedude:

jp:
control panel options
i use this setup
it is simple but effective
power-up and power-down are at the left-/right-side of the panel(hidden)
no more buttons used
a<z = prev alpha
a>z = next alpha
 <   = prev page
 >   = next page

MPTech:
dibbler, yep, that's the button.  I saw your cab, looks nice. the CP is what inspired me to ask about button configs. good luck on the new one.

karokedude, good article, i'll reread it and give that a try.

jp, that's very similar buttons to what I had in mind. no need for select and clear? Cab Pic?
