Without knowing more details of your setup, it's impossible to give you advice.

Is this an actual arcade machine? Mame machine?

If it's an arcade machine using real arcade boards, invest in a power strip and  turn it on/off that way.

If it's a Mame machine, there are 1,000 threads dedicated to wiring up a power button.  Do a search.

I thought I heard somewhere that you could get the elusive "button" somewhere out in Jersey but I can not confirm this.



mah bad,

if you are using a PC, open the case and find the backside of your power button.  there will be two wires coming from it.  You will tap into those two wires (you dont even need to disconnect them)

You hook those wires up to a regular arcade button (like on your control panel) and locate that button somewhere out of the way so you dont hit it on accident.

wah and lah

Timoe:

Also, there is a "search" button on the top of your screen in this forum.  If used it will provide links to much clearer explanations than mine.



welcome to the board

Here is what I've done with my mame machine.

I setup my computer to bootup on power up. I've setup the front end to power down the machine on exit. I have a power strip that I turn off after turning off the front end. If I want to turn it on, I just flip the power on the power strip and the machine fires up.
