We often get asked to suggest some Jukebox options for various devices, such as the much loved JUKE BLASTER we reviewed, have just had a message come through with a “few files to share”, not much information about it, except a video link and a link to the files.
This comes in a version with Hyperspin themes and artwork if adding to your Hyperspin cabinet, also comes as a standalone version, either version has the software! The people over at Touchscreen Machines (FaceBook group) are going to love playing with this one!
UPDATE
We had an email from SepticKebab who sent us a link here for a newer (1.8) version
