They need to momentarily connect. Touch the wires together but dont connect them. |

Then have Reginald, or whatever his/her name is turn on the cab. You do have a butler, right? --- End quote --- Good idea. "Oh Crones, be a good chap and turn on this blasted machine for me." |

But I have a button hidden underneath the head of a bust on my desk that powers on my cabinet. |

I have a dell in my mame cabinet and I set the power options under the bios to power the machine on when power is restored. I have my monitor/speakers/pc plugged in to a power strip, when I press the switch for the power strip, it then automatically turns the pc on, screen and speakers. then within gameex I go in to "power off" which performs a shutdown you can see on my video - youtube.com/aletchet |
