Wincab and mame at the same tiem - possible??

<< < (3/3)

eggedd2k:
now that would be good. perfect even.  there's still the issue of disabling the sound in mame32 when you feel like listening to the jukebox

richms:
Perhaps 2 soundcards, with MP3 playback on one and emulation on the other, then you can either put a crossfader on the cabinet, or else run the line out of one to the line in on the other and let the jukebox app look after changing the line in volume to let the mame sounds thru.

Be aware that apps that use the braindead MS media player control will only play to the default sound device, so you will need to find a slightly more advanced jukebox.

allroy1975:
am I simplifying this too much by thinking this:

Have Mame32 installed in 2 different places (one configured with sound and one without.  Have 3 icons on your desktop, one for Wincab, one for Mame32 and one for Wincab with mame32 that points to a batch file that launches Wincab and your alternate Mame32 install that has the sound turned off in it?

shouldn't be hard to write a batch file like that. 

FWIW IMHO it sounds better to have both just because that's what arcades sounded like to me...music blasting and you could still hear your game...at least a little.  ;)

The problem is changing the volumes mid game, which is where I like the idea of putting a couple of sliders on the cab on the 2 soundcards. I like the idea so much I may actually do it.
