Thumbs up or down on adding jukebox on arcade cab?

<< < (2/5) > >>

Fordman:
I agree with both points above, but I'd make a separate unit for a jukebox, you'll be glad you did. The only issue with the juke on an arcade machine is, you would have to close the jukebox, to play the arcade or vice versa. You can run them both at the same time, but the sound is terrible and you would have to get out the mouse, reduce one to add/play the other. kinda takes away from the arcade experience! several really good ideas in the mp3/jukebox portion of the forum, some are simplistic and some are a little elaborate. Just what suits your wants/needs by budget and style!

Go Ahead, build that jukebox! You already get the 'WOW' factor with the arcade cab, get the 'WWWWooooWWWW' factor with a dedicated jukebox as well. All you really need is a P3, 512mb memory and a cheap touchscreen from ebay to set one up!

If you build one, take plenty of pics for us all to see!

I just turned an old Megatouch into a juke by stripping it and throwing in a touch screen running E-Touch software. Easy peasy. Runs videos and songs, it gets a lot of time on it when people are over. I threw a wireless speaker setup in there too so I can take speakers all over the house if I want. So I say just make a new one. And yes, I'm a Michael Jackson fan. No, you're gay!

BobA:
If you only have one cab then go ahead and add it.  You don't have to use it if you want to keep on gaming. If you can spring for a separate jukebox then build it because it is much more impressive and you can keep on gaming and still have music.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks adding a jukebox program could take away from the gaming expecience.  Interesting to think about building a jukebox! Hmmm... I think you guys may have just started me on another project haha. Thanks for the input!
