Looking for some guidance/suggestions.  I wanted to keep the computer connected to my Atgames Legends Pinball external to the cabinet.  That said, I would like the convenience of powering the computer on, booting the computer, using the cabinet power switch.  I would then love to know how to shut down the computer properly, using Windows shutdown, without the use of a mouse or device to navigate the Windows screen.  Thanks for the suggestions.

I think most front ends allow to have the PC shut down from the front end

 

As for powering on from the ALP

I dont think the ALP has any good way of asking the PC to power on, you are probably going to need to wire up a remote power switch

or something


If you feel the need to empty your wallet in my direction, i don't have any way to receive it anyways

Spend it on Hookers and Blow
