question about shutting down Windows XP
<< < (3/4) > >>
mattmayhem:
This might be just on my system but I did however notice that when I hit the power button while a game is being emulated, it kind of crashes the game and glitches the system up a bit before shutting down windows, but if your in your front end or game selection screen, when you press the button it safely exits the program then safely shuts down windows and powers off. Could only be my setup, but keep that in mind.

+1 for the Smart Strip.  Well, actually, I had trouble tuning the Smart Strip to perform consistently.

I ended up using a Sears Craftsman similar product--smaller than the Smart Strip--intended to turn a light on when you turn on your drill press, and such.

Yet RLL had auto parking.....  Ahh those daisy chained Full height 5 mb drive hooked up to my 4.77 XT...

You can down Xp without worry to any corruption.  I have been cutting power to my arcade PC for like 5 years and it still work fine.

With today's tech Sleep mode is the best option.
