I just popped a new SATA SSD in the laptop I'm writing this from that is benchmarking at 230MB/S reading/writing. Running Win7, going Desktop->reboot->Desktop is around 20 seconds. At least 10 of that is just BIOS screen crap.

That's what I got booting my DOS Mame Machine :applaud: :applaud:
In 20sec, my FE is up and running....Oh.....did I mentioned how long my SHUTDOWN process is ? It takes less than a second :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

I'm surprised it even takes that long for a DOS based mame machine. But, much like a properly configured linux based mame machine, the problem comes down to available emulators. If I want to run almost anything other than MAME, I'm tied to Windows or a more heavily laden Linux config. :\

Yea I know what ya mean. If you want to upgrade, you are forced to upgrade too.... So i have decided long ago to stick on my configured DOS Advmame, but if I got the itch to play GUN type games like HOTD series, maybe I'll just build another but this time, WINDOWS based MAME.

but when it comes to boot times and the like, this can really be avoided on a properly configured windows cab by putting the system into Sleep or Suspend mode instead of a full shutdown. On my cab the powerbutton->hyperspin time is faster than the time it takes my monitor to power up and the powerbutton->"off" is probably close to 3 seconds, again from within hyperspin.

Measured with a Kill-A-Watt, asleep the cab draws around 8 watts of power, including speakers still powered on, but volume all the way down, and two Coin Door Replacement buttons lit up.

Mr Foley, are you still posting here ?
Any chance you can PM me the GPID code(s) for the dozen or so gamepack CD's I purchased for my personal Ultracade over the years ? GlobalVR refuses to generate ANY codes for any gamepack CD's other than the basepack, or anything they currently don't have licenses for. I can generate the install code if I had that 3rd field from the keygen launcher, for my own use ONLY. I'm in the business so I have the keygen legally.

I lost the games when I upgraded from the Sumicom PC to the Graphite, can you help or suggest someone that can ?

Thanks,
