Title: Want to add Jukebox to MAME arcade
Post by: MPTech on February 03, 2007, 04:26:21 pm

The Jukebox is a whole new world to me on BYOAC.  I've been reading the arcade posts for over a year and finished my Arcade for the kids last year.

I have a library of songs, but I've always pulled out the mouse & keyboard and fired up Windows Media Player to play tunes.

What Jukebox software would be compatiable with my existing Joystick & control panel buttons?
To allow me to scroll and select?
I currently run MAMEWAH, could I add it as another emulator?

Thanks guys!
btw, there are some reallt cool Jukebox''s out there.  I'm thinking another project may be in my future!

Check Out:
http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Jukebox_Software

You should tryout these software:
- Arcade Music Box.
- Arcade Jukebox.
- DAM Jukebox.
- Wincab.

Wincab is maybe the most used software out here.

My own discounted (due lost of most source) software, Arcade Music Box, was created with Mamewah in mind (Im still use it on my cab).

You can start AMB using as a application or "emulator" (PC Games) to run it. Even Im not working on that anymore, it still very pretty stable.

I use SK Jukebox  www.skjukebox.com for my MAME/Jukebox cab.  I actually have buttons wired up for 0-9 left/right arrows and skip song.  But you could just remap the keys in SK Jukebox's control panel to match whatever keystrokes you need.

SK-Jukebox is a very great software out here, no doubt (since SK-Jukeboxmay may have been my favorit on a dedicated jukebox cab).

The only problem it best used with a keypad, not very good with a joystick and buttons, and it require a high resoulution monitor.

But still a great software, if work with his exits panel.

I just created my own software, so it suit Mamewah and low resoulution arcade monitor better. That All!

Thanks Space Fractal / Denmark,
I'll give AMB a look tonite or tomorrow. I'd like to utilize something that I can use the Control panel (joystick & CP buttons with, and hopefully interfaces well with MAMEWAH).
This may work well.

Any advise?  :notworthy:
