I have a Jukebox app that has some really cool features to it and I thought maybe HS could encorporate some of this. I don't think it would be that hard to do.
Skinnable: Not sure how this might apply to HS but it would be cool if you had different skin options for HS.
Randomization of attract videos/skins/screens. When you launch Jukecade you never know if you're going to get the Gauntlet, Pac-Man or Donkey Kong skin. It makes it much more cool because you don't have to manually switch skins when you have the same guest coming over to give it a different look. This is a really cool feature.
JukeCade also has attract videos that play in the corner of the screen that play randomly from a file in the media folder. This is really cool because I downloaded a bunch of old "I want my MTV" commercials from the early 80s as well as some other preview clips from Friday night Videos as well as the Michael Jackson Pepsi spots. It randomly chooses one of these videos, plays it and then 30 seconds later chooses another one. It's a super cool feature and I think there could be an application for this in HS to some degree.
If you have multiple themes for the same game perhaps it could randomize this. Ditto with Exit screens or attract videos at the beginning. HS is awesome and you don't want to get used to what's on there. Adding randomization is a great way to always keep things fresh and if your friends come over some other time its a completely different look with absolutely no work involved at all.
