One Button Computer Start...?

I have the same setup as javeryh and it couldn't be simpler.

Some motherboards have the option to power on from a keyboard press, usually the space bar.  Which makes ideal since it is a default button in Mame.

DeLuSioNal29:
I prefer to have it somewhere high up on the arcade unit.  Out of the reach of small children.  Having it as the default spacebar is nice and handy, but maybe too handy when a child runs over to it and mashes all the buttons on the control panel and inadvertently turns it on.

That is a risk he will have to take.  Plus kids only do it if they see YOU do it.  Maybe they are trying to tell you they want to play.  Also, if there is a chair or stool nearby they will figure out how to turn it on...eventually.

DeLuSioNal29:
I meant other kids than your own.  Sorry about that.
