| shutting down my cab |

| akira:
hi there, ive just been searching the forums looking for a way to shut down the cab/system without using a keyboard or mouse... is this possible? basically ive built the cabinet (hope to get thepics up soon) using an atx pc, ipac2 contoller, 2 joysticks + buttons ect.. I know its easy to power up using a button connected to the motherboards power switch, but was wondering if theres a similar way to shut the system down using a button rather than using the keyboard/mouse/windows ect? The software im using is win98,mame8.4 & game launcher for the frontend. any ideas? many thanks for any suggestions! |

and if its not i use a macro to great effect. i have mine so that pressing the fire button and player two button closes mame first (saves playcount etc then) and then shuts down. mine is win98 and it works fine |

look in your bios... some have the option to shut down w/ power button (same as the way you boot up) and it will properly shut down the pc. |
