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

DaOld Man:

I use this to shut down my machine:

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:

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.
