Title: Will a Jukebox program/Mp3's play on a 133MHZ Win95?
Post by: thetered on June 23, 2005, 11:48:12 pm

Would an old computer with win95 and 133 processor play mp3's and run one of the jukebox programs? Any one know or tried?

I have an older NEC laptop running win95 OSR2 that is a 133Mhz w/ 48MB RAM. It plays MP3's fine using winamp or Foobar 2000. I did try to test a couple of jukebox programs, but received missing DINPUT.DLL errors. I downloaded dinput.dll and wincab jukebox loaded, but the graphics were way too much for the PcChips display adapter to handle.

 Hope this helps

You could install DOS and use DOSCab Jukebox; WinCab may also work if you can get DirectX 7 (DirectX 9 might be too much for it).

Assuming it's for a cabinet and you want to use arade controls, I think that Arcade Jukebox 8 (http://home.att.net/~mark.schwartz/) will run on that hardware. I can't remember exactly but I think I ran it on a similar machine under Win98 SE.

Thanks for all your help and input, what I was looking at was an all in one point of purchase system with a touchscreen, but it dawned on me after looking at it again IT DOESNT HAVE A SOUNDCARD! So it probably would have been one of the quietest jukeboxes around!

Ah well, thanks again though!
