Ok, let's get started, but... power question.

(1/1)

xmod:
Hi all, looking to get into the world of arcades after 10 years of console modding.

I have read a lot on these forums since 2008, and consider myself ready to go.

I can understand many things but one issue keeps coming back, power.
Inside the Cab im building i will have the following:

Xbox console running Mame and FBAxx
Samsung TX-P2034 tube monitor

The Cab


I have ordered the necessary wiring to get all this connected to the existing control panel of the cab.

I am slowly learning and wanting to take my time to make something decent as a first project.
(next project will have a pc, this is to get familiar with the arcade building community)


QUESTION :
I am still blocked as to find out how to power everything up with one switch like a regular arcade does.
i read the wiki and found this,

--- Quote ---The most important question... will the TV automaticallly power itself back on after a "power failure." If you turn the cabinet's power off, you want the TV to turn itself back on automatically when you later power the cabinet back on.
--- End quote ---
Ok, but how to know if it will, and what about the xbox as well ?

any direction on that would be extremely appreciated.
Sorry for the noobish question, Im overwhelmed with the humongous amount of info on here.

thanks

EDIT : Nevermind, saw I wasent getting an answer so realised it must of been a common annoying question... so I kept reading.
Turns out my 27" JVC has return + which means it comes on auto after power outage. And i modded so many xbox's in so many ways, I know I can mod a way to power it up when I turn the main switch on.

thanks anyway peeps.
