| How do you turn off your PC-based arcade? |

| Zeppo:
I usually use Mamewah to power down by using the player 2 start button and using that menu. Sometimes I push the power button and let it do it's shutdown that way. Only time I power it off without shutdown is when it locks up on me. |
| Jack Burton:
On a similar note, how bad is it to turn off my monitor simply by unplugging it? |
| Mr Wilson:
i'm using mala fe so i use the shut down option on that and then after its shut down i'll turn the switch off for the speakers,marquee light and monitor (on a 4 way extension lead) and i've changed the bios to " turn on when powers restored" so i just flip the socket on and it all turns back on |

I use this to shut down my machine: http://skennys_outpost.tripod.com/thelauncher/index.html And no, it shouldnt hurt your monitor to unplug it. I use a relay controlled power strip to turn off my monitor, sound, and lights when the computer shuts down. Its the same as unplugging the monitor. Here is how I did that: http://skennys-arcade.blogspot.com/2007/05/switching-power.html Good luck with your project. |

I put part of the outlet on a switch so I can turn everything on and off at the switch. |
