jukebox??

[slowsl]

Has anyone had any luck integrating a jukebox type feature into attract mode?  I had found someone developed (and abandoned) a "jukecade" for the pc, which integrated into mame cabinet and was able to utilize the coin slots, etc. much like a real jukebox.  I was hoping to find something like that that could be used seamlessly with attract mode.  Any ideas?

Sorry, forgot that it's a multi-platform front-end.  I'm using retropie.  I'm also interested in building another on a PC, but for now, looking for a retropie solution.

ffplay plays audio-files too.
so set an emulator system for music (or use another prefered music player; like vlc)

set a keyboard event on gpio of rpi and use a coin slot/button/electrical bridge.
something like here.
set your select-button (often : return) in rpi-script instead.
now you can scroll through am-list but can't start anything.

if a coin is insert in slot, the gpio hits the return-button (in AM : select) and starts so your track at current position in AM.

Instead of using rpi gpio, have a look at an old usb keyboard controller for hitting your select-button
