Basically I have an arcade cabinet running windows98 with DOS.
Useing the ArcadeOS frontend with AdvMAME, on a 19 inch CGA wells gardner arcade monitor.
I wanna add a jukebox as another emulator from the arcadeos emulator selection.
Is there a Dos based jukebox program that I can run? And do I need special software to make it run with my arcade monitor? Or will VBE display the jukebox at 640x480 the same way it does with arcadeos.
I really have no idea where to start, so any direction pointing would be good. Also, should I hack up a keyboard and make a alternate keypad and buttons, and run it through my IPAC encoder, or can I use my joystick and attack buttons to select songs/albums?
I got a killer sound system in my cabinet, and I would love to put it to more use than crappy Marvel vs Capcom background music. Cambridge Soundworks make awsome speakers and Sub's.

Go here, http://mywebpages.comcast.net/celamantia/jukebox/. Most will work w/an arade setup. Most people will tell you virtual jukebox is all around the best.

Problem with that is the program was only made to run at a 1024x740 Resolution.
My wells gardner 19 inch monitor at best will display a 720xXXX. Anything over 640x480 your lucky to get working. And 1024 is just way too big. You need a high res monitor for that and the old arcade monitors just cant do it.
Is there any DOS jukebox that is specifically made for arcade cabinets with authentic arcade monitors? I don't understand why people make arcade cabinets with pc monitors in the first place. it defeats the purpose and the display is terrible.

Chris is working on other resolutions I believe...
