Cool! Glad to help, and it's a good thing you posted your question rather than proceeding on your own! :) |

My setup: PC set to power on after failure. Everything runs to a standard power strip. Power strip runs out via 8' orange extension cord. Cord plugs into an on/off switch at the outlet. Flip the switch to turn everything on. Shut down via software (in MameWAH) with pushbutton at top of cab ( Player 1 button 8 ). Flip the switch to off after PC shuts down to turn everything else off. |

Kelroy, Get a SmartStrip, all your problems will be solved! |

I guess I'm confused too. I power everything on by one switch on top of the cabinet (PC, monitor, woofer, marquee light, etc). I did have to make a modification to the power strip but I think it was just soldering one wire (it's been years and I forget what I did). In reading my web page it seems I soldered the switch inline. Maybe this isn't safe? Haven't had issues in the many years I've had the cab. http://home.comcast.net/~bsturk/mame/misc.html Maybe the OP is trying to do something more than I'm thinking. ??? ~telengard |
