So whats the deal with how to turn everything off with a button?
I don't want to have to turn everything onff one by one, and I tried jiggling my joystick back and forth, but if the game didn't start up again, I got lost jiggling my joystick even more.
Aslo, what size does I use for holes for teh buttonz?
If u can huk me up wit r0mzorz, hiT me on AIMZ fo shiZzL3

If you keep wiggling your joystick you'll totally go blind.

If you are using iPac, you can assign a key to shut down the computer itself. If you are looking to turn off the computer, speakers, marquee etc. all at the same time, this can be done by assigning a key to shut down your computer (as indicated above), which will have to be plugged into a "Power Strip" power bar by Bit's Ltd. (www.smartstrip.net/). When the computer shuts down, it tells all of the other devices plugged into the power bar to shut down too. The same applies to powering up as well.
The size of the main button holes are 1 3/4" apart (center to center) and should be 1 1/8" in diameter.
Hope this helps.

The best thing to do when Drew asks a question is to shove him down really hard and take his lunch money. It's really the only way he's going to learn.
Sorry that you got tangled up in this web of stoopidity.

You ever go fishing, and toss your line into the water while you're waiting for your turn to take your boat out of the water at the ramp? And then you catch that one last fish, the one that fills your limit, right at the end. It's a good feeling, isn't it?

I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that.

Dear Noob Drew:
To shut down your computer, take hammer (available at Walmart) in right hand (or left hand if you are a lefty noobie.)
Pull hammer back past the shoulder that is attached to the hand that is holding the hammer.
Swing hammer towards the bright light, shut eyes and yell "Kammi Kazzie".
When said hammer, being held by said hand, reaches said bright spot, you should see a much brighter light. (Do not go into the light!!!)
Soon the smoke will pour from said bright spot and the power will cease.
If power does not cease, get out the fire extinguisher, and dose said bright spot.
Disclaimer: If all else fails, pull the cord (ref: long snaky thing that plugs into wall.)
Another Disclaimer: shaking your joystick has been known to cause one to go blind and grow hair in palm of hand.
Another Disclaimer: Using the above method to turn off your arcade may cause cancer, cuts, bruises, burns, PMS, uncontrollable block fires, stained upholstery, diarrhea, constipation, cramps, gout, receding hair line, nose and ear hair, epileptic fits, apathy, warts, liver spots, high blood pressure, cataracts, insomnia, premature shock therapy, stained under garments, and sore wrists.
1 out of 25 test monkeys did develop one or more of the above symptoms while being force fed 23 pounds of hedge apple extract and forced to play video games for 102 hours straight.
Please consult your doctor before using this method to see if this method is right for you.

Ya know 9 months ago everyone was commenting about the lack of action on the main board. Turns out the wiki made most of the easy questions easily available. I say we remove the wiki from the site.
Oh yeah, what's teh best stick to use for my arcade, anyway?
And should I use plexiglass or real glass if I'm using a 17" monitor in my 6 player arcade?
-

Poplar or maple. Strip the leaves and excess branches for REAL gaming action!
And should I use plexiglass or real glass if I'm using a 17" monitor in my 6 player arcade?
Firstly, on a 6 player, if you're using eleventy buttons for each player, you'll get better gameplay with a monochrome 14" monitor. Secondly, plexiglass or real glass is a waste of money. On something like that, you'll get better performance if you use black fiberglass screening, like what they use on a storm door.

I did that once. The colors look much better, kinda like smoked plexi but allows the monitor to cool better.

:notworthy: First apologies in advance for the thread hi-jack.
I'm a real noob, and I have a real noob question.... :cry: You see I was licking my stamps, and suddenly realised that they were self-adhesive ...
Anyways, Drew, I'm a big fan. :cheers:
