dwjukebox is a great choice - I use itin my cabinet as well. I use a two key combo to switch between Hyperpin and dwjukebox. You can easily flip between skins while it is loaded. Easy to config the keys as needed. eg: I use the flipper button to flick between track pages. I also change the wallpaper to display a Wurlitser logo in the dmd window, etc.





If you look at my video below of the Elvis table, near the end (1min 45 sec into the video) you can see it in use.

how do you set it up to use a touch screen?

[settingsons]

As you probably know you can, but i haven't done that myself. I wanted a simple old style jukebox setup with button operation. Also if you wanted tracklists, etc this software won't be for you.

all i need is a menu to select the song with it's name shown, shuffle and repeat options and can load from usb or hdd.

hehehe just picked up an asus crosshair IV mb, phenom II 965 and 8gb gskill ram dirt cheap i could sell it back on ebay and make $100 profit easy...or i could put it in my cab? what you think would it finally get rid of my annoying ball stutter...or should i just give up and install xp?

Use that & install XP

[zebulon]

That's almost exactly my old setup and I had no problems with it at all. Good score!!!

[bladexdsl]

running windows 7 though? this is pretty much the same setup as my desktop except it's only a crosshair III and the ram is OCZ but it pretty much annihilates any high end 3d game i throw at it at max settings.

Just curious... How did you manage to display DWJukebox on another monitor than the main monitor ?
Or is your backglass set as primairy in Windows ?

I know a lot of people had great success with Windows 7, but there were so many issues that I encountered that never happened under XP, so I ended up rolling back to XP. Zero stutter issues once I finally got my video driver issues resolved.

For anyone who wants to load dwjukebox on their cabinet you might want to check out the PinJukeLaunch wrapper in my signature. It allows you to launch dwjukebox on a 2nd or 3rd monitor which is not possible with dwjukebox alone. Also the wrapper can change the wallpaper on launch and exit in case you want to show a Pinball or Jukebox themed graphic on the DMD monitor. The wrapper is very small and it is not loaded in memory when playing tables from Hyperpin.

Great looking cab btw blade!
