nLited XP installs for a cab
tony.silveira:
spystyle, what a walkthru!
i'd love to trim my xp install but i would need networking / internet as i use the pc in the cab as a media center also. the cab keeps my beer cold but thats another story :) ...
back on topic, are there any simple resources that list what each option that can be trimmed with nLite actually do?
thanks
spystyle:
Well I think I might have trimmed too much off my XP install :)
For my new cabinet, a restored and MAME'd Gauntlet, the computer's power button turns the cab on but not off. There is no ACPI.
Apparently working in "virtual PC" is different than working in real life :) I think real cabinets should have ACPI if using a one button power solution (like a relay hacked power strip) - but otherwise could just unplug the cab / shut off the power strip.
I'm going to check into that now ...
Cheers,
Craig

Hi Tony :)
Nlite does describe the stuff like so :
I bet Googling for an "Nlite XP guide" (without quotes) would come up with a lot of guides that are very detailed.
Have fun,

Hi Craig. I just made an nlited version of xp using your lastsession.ini version 3 but i noticed that when i selected to shutdown the pc from the start menu it doesn't actually turn the pc off. It displays the screen 'It is now safe to turn your pc off'. I'm using the corporate version of xp. Any ideas on what i did wrong or is it supposed to do that. I did make a few minor changes when using your ini.
Cheers,
ian.
