This is not really arcade game oriented but I thought some of you might be adding a jukebox to your gameroom.
I thought about building an MP3 system and I had already started converting all my CDs to MP3. My next step was to build a jukebox, or at least the controls and use an IPAC to control it. I knew I couldn't make anything that really looked like a jukebox.
I came across this site: www.datasynceng.com They made an adapter to connect a CD changer to a jukebox wall box selector. I already had one of the 101 disc Pioneer CD changers so this seemed ideal.
I've got the adapter coming and I bought a wall box on e-bay. This will give me the look of a real jukebox selector with my CD changer running in the background. You can add additional wallboxes and it's all programmable.
I can always take MP3s and burn a audio CD. If it all works out I might even get a 301 disc CD changer instead. Hopefully it will work with the quarter / tokens that my slot machine and mame machine use.
I know this is a little off topic, but still controls oriented. My guess is I'm not the only one adding this stuff to my house.
