Does arcadeOS have this shut down feature?  Would powering off the somputer not cause scan disk to check every time it's powered back on, or can you turn that off?  Just wondering....

The best method for starting up a cab is using a motherboard that can be set up to power on at the press of a keyboard key (ie one of your pushbuttons).

This is what I plan on doing and lots of mobos support it, but it probably won't work for you  :-/

For shutting down I always imagined going through windows and just leaving the monitor running in that standby mode it goes into when your comp shuts down.

I run in a pure DOS mode mode but the idea is the same for windows by running a batch file you can shutdown the system...

e.g. The batch file starts ArcadeOS as the PC boots or from DOS, while ArcadeOS is running everthing is hunky dory! When you exit ArcadeOS the remaining part of the batch file resumes and shuts the PC down...

"If you are using Windows and want to shut the sytem down use the file rundll32.exe similar to the following (c:\windows\rundll32.exe user,exitwindows)."

If you use the above in a batch file it will shut the computer down.

Here's a link to the full conversation on the ArcadeOS forum...http://www.mameworld.net/cgi-bin/wwwthreads/showpost.pl?Board=mameworldarcadepcjamma&Number=1436&page=&view=&mode=threaded&sb=#Post1436
