nLited XP installs for a cab
DrewKaree:
IIRC, SP2 was required for dual trackball support (or spinner, or mouse hack.....crap, SOMETHING required it! ;D )
I dunno about SP3.
Craig, give this a looksee too, I think you might find it useful:

Hey Nlite fans,
I finally made my vision of "MAME-XP"
Here are the specs:
Made from Windows XP professional corporate SP3
In my finished configuration, in which MAME32 ver 36 ran perfectly, and DirectX 9.0c installed, I had these services running :
1. Plug and play
2. Remote procedure call (RPC)
3. Windows Audio
This much RAM was used : 46.61 MB of RAM out of 256.
Minlogon was integrated for fast startup and shutdown
Driverpacks were integrated so no hunting for drivers
Here are pics:
Attached is lastsession.ini
How low are you guys able to get your RAM usage?
Cheers,
Craig

The above was all done in VirtualPC, that's how I test all my goodies without making dozens of coasters. I was so impressed with the above that I burned my MAME-XP to a CD and installed it on an old P3 700MHZ with 192 MB RAM and 30 GB HDD, these days that type of computer could be found for free or cheap.
Boot up was lightning fast due to minlogon.
It uses only 40.62 MB of RAM out of 192 :)
Mala also works :)
Cheers,
Craig

Oh, hard lesson : apparently if you don't choose "ComputerType = Standard PC" in the unattended section of Nlite your power button won't shut down your computer. I mistakenly left it as "default"...

Without having to reinstall xp:
If the computer is not ACPI-compliant, you may be able to work around this issue by installing the NT APM/Legacy Device. Before you install the NT APM/Legacy device, you must first disable the Microsoft ACPI Device if it is installed.
To disable the Microsoft ACPI Device: 1. Open Control Panel, and then double-click System.
2. Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
3. On the View menu, click Show Hidden Devices.
4. Expand Non-Plug and Play Drivers.
5. Do either of the following: • If Microsoft ACPI Driver is not listed:
In the NT APM/Legacy Support branch of the device tree, you will see the item NT Apm/Legacy Interface Node. It will show a red X to indicate that it is disabled.
Right-click NT Apm/Legacy Interface Node, and then click Enable.
After you follow these steps, Windows will shut down correctly.
• If Microsoft ACPI Driver is listed, follow these steps: a. Double-click Microsoft ACPI Driver.
b. Click the Driver tab, and then in the Type box, click Disabled.
c. Click OK, and then restart the computer.
d. When Windows restarts, repeat these steps to open the Microsoft ACPI Driver Properties dialog box, and then click the Driver tab.
Verify the following: • Disabled appears in the Type box.
• Stopped appears in the Status section.
After you verify that the Microsoft ACPI Device is disabled, continue with the following steps to install the NT APM/Legacy device:
e. Open Control Panel, and then double-click Add Hardware.
f. When the Hardware Wizard stops searching for new hardware, click Yes, I have already connected the hardware, and then click Next.
g. Scroll to the bottom of the Installed Hardware list, click Add a new hardware device, and then click Next.
h. Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), and then click Next.
i. Under Common Hardware Types, click NT Apm/Legacy Support, and then click Next.
j. Click NT Apm/Legacy Interface Node, and then click Next.
k. Click Next again, and then click Finish.
The computer will now correctly shut down.

Thanks :) However I don't have the mentioned items, see this pic:
Either I removed too much (I removed all services, IIR) or the "standard PC" thing will work, I will test it.
UPDATE : The "standard PC" thing fixed it :)

This whole thread is about Nlite modified versions of retail XP. Embedded XP is a different OS :

As far as I know no one is using embedded XP on their cabs.

Yes, but...

...minlogon will make it one user only.

Attached is minlogon for Nlite, Minlogon for exisiting installations, and memuse.exe.
Cheers,
Craig
p.s. You should install service pack 3, it's faster than SP2.
