Title: Hi Honey I'm Home
Post by: Mark Norville on April 27, 2026, 01:49:13 PM
Well the biatch is back.

After moving home, the only thing left was to get a new touch screen monitor. So I just brought a cheap one from Amazon for £219 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GJYWGD5W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

So time to get back into the jukebox game. My plans are either try and pick up skinning where I left off or just download a skin and use that. I am still tempted by having a vertical juke as it will be hooked up to a vertical atgames legends mini so i might keep the style.

Choices, choices.

So I will be around for a while.

Regards

Mark

Good to see you again John. I hope you are well? I am about a week or two weeks from setting up the jukebox. I am just doing my Arcade PC at the moment, installing all my games onto hard drives ready to start on Launchbox and emulation.

I can then hook up the jukebox and vertical PC build that I now have and put the monitor into vertical mode so that I can have a refresher on skin tool and hopefully with the help of AI then I can hopefully make better graphics.

Well that is the plan, but all the best laid plans often mess up lol

The basics I still remember or some of them at least. I am now trying AI for generating rather than Photohop.

Far too expensive on a monthly subscription. The Abode AI is not very good also for the price.

Hopefully once I have my new home unpacked and ready to go then I can spend more time on skinning.

One year this year and I am still covered with boxes, cables and things that need to be done.

I just never thought that I would come back and start skinning again, but I might as well complete the bucket list and have a touch screen jukebox that I will possibly never use apart from just show.

Lovely to see that you are still around.

Regards

Mark
