arcade build with jukebox

hi all new to builds but im just about to start to build a jukebox - arcade center

i have a bar and in one corner i have a corner table i built sort of half hex , what im thinking is putting a vertical allinone computer mounted for my jukebox and incorporating this table as the bottom of my cabinet , i was looking at buttons for this jukebox to make it unique and come across the buttons and game boards etc for classic arcade games , born in the sixties space invadors pacman and donkey kong have some real memories

my question is if im running album player or jk jukebox can i also run a 60 classic game board as well by minimising windows so i can access them both when i want

can you pause these games so i can put tunes on to keep the cook happy then play if i have mates over

cant wait to get started here , should be a great project

the jukebox will be wired to an amp and technics speakers while the games will have there own computer speakers so i can hear both will this work as well

looks pretty simple but ive never done one before any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated

ill post a pic of the corner table for you to look at soon

thanks

if running windows just run mame with the games you want to play

some mame front ends allow for jukebox ability also

what im looking to do is have the jukebox running to a amp and speakers while the games will run from two computer speakers in the cabinet , i also want to access the jukebox while im playing games is that possible , can i pause a game then access the jukebox select a song or album and continue playing without losing the game

im actually looking at albumplayer it has touch screen and looks good ive decided i dont need buttons for the jukebox now as ill have enough lights and buttons with the arcade games , i just want to know how i switch screens during play to put a song on if needed
