Hello everyone,
While browsing hackaday.com, I just noticed that there once was a project
about a Jukebox with an LCARS interface (skin; there are many more). 😄
The article/blog entry is available here:
https://www.ragingcomputer.com/2008/04/touch-screen-jukebox
https://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-Jukebox-and-More/
Please note that this was written about 12 years ago.
The original DWJukebox site is down and the author apparently has no interest in DOS anymore.
(The project originated from the arcade cab scene which used to use the DOS-based MAME emulator.)
Also, you likely need a touchscreen/LCD with touchscreen with RS-232 interface
in order to be able to press the "buttons" on pure DOS.
On Windows 98/XP, any touchscreen LCD may work (hope so; there's also a win32 binary inside).
Alternatively, a trackball or some knobs will also do, I assume.
It's just less cool, I guess.
Anyway, it's still a neat little project, I think.
Especially in these Corona days.
Here are the archived versions of the site:
