Jpm Gamebox Full Free Play Upgrade With Simpletouch Fe (i Hope!)

03 August 2011 - 07:18 PM

Hello Everyone.

I have a JPM GameBox for a few months now, with a few preinstalled games such as Millionaire, Cluedo, Top Of The Pops and some other semi playable games, admittedly it has not had much use as the games are very old in questions (all the Top Of The Pop Games refer to early/mid 90's acts)

So I stumbled across these forums and noticed something about SimpleTouch FE and the fact I could re program the machine with more games and as a bonus also a JUKEBOX !! ... WOW , all of a sudden the kids would pay interest again...

The only other option I thought I had was buying these 'upgrade discs and dongles' from eBay for silly prices. Something that I am not really willing to do for a bit of fun.

Maybe I have not looked hard enough but I do not see a guide on the internets for a complete transformation of GameBox to GameBox with SimpleTouch, so HOPEFULLY I will compile one for the sites Help Files (PDF OK??) , In the meantime I may require some assistance here in this thread , thus I have decided to post as I make the transformation...

ONE MORE THING.... As its my Girlfriends 40th on Saturday and we are going to have a houseful, I intend to get this done before then (it is now Wednesday evening), to impress the balls off our guests :)

So here is where I am at:-

(1) As you can see by the photos I am installing Windows XP - I Have plugged a keyboard into the built in low spec PC (previously Windows 95)
(2) I have downloaded SIMPLETOUCH FE
(3) I have downloaded QUICK SHELLER (To Hide Windows From Loading)
(4) I have accessed a repo that Mr C has, I am trying to find the actual games to download that I will use with SimpleTouch FE - ANY HELP ???
(5) I would love to fit a USB HDD as I have a spare 1TB one hanging around from a friend, I am hoping I can do this full of music and get a JUKEBOX application on the menu too , ANY HELP on this ??
