General / AM JukeBox on Android, iOS (with touch function)
« on: September 26, 2024, 07:54:57 PM »
As we known, attract mode can't run on Android Device. But now I have make it true. I installed Classic Anime & Tokusatsu (C.A.T.) JukeBox v2 Theme and running it perfectly.

Actually, there is no way to install am in android directly. So, I try to use moonlight (android client)  &  Nvidia GameStream (PC host) for do it. While, host and client is connected, You can see the picture and listen the sound on android.

Then, setup Controls key on attract mode, up-> Mouse Up, down-> Mouse Down, left-> Mouse Left, right-> Mouse Up. Now, you can control jukebox theme using by touch function. If you don't Nvidia display card, you may install Sunshine for host to instead.
