MAME Cabinet Startup

The clean startup of my home-built arcade cabinet. Some loading parts edited to save time. A total nerd show, I know, but the video is used on http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/ to show how to build a clean interface to such a cabinet.

The frontend that I'm using is AdvanceMENU http://advancemame.sourceforge.net/

hey how did you manage to get a complete back screen, I mean where did the bios screen, ram chsck screen go?

@suvodipmitra

It's there, but I edited it for time. On some BIOSs you can set a startup picture instead of the POST messages. You could simply set it to a black picture.

See the description for a link to the full article that explains this. It has the configuration for faster boot times and the startup parameters. It is in the section: II WINDOWS XP SYSTEM CHANGES.

Putting the coin in to shutdown... awesome idea. I bet that catches people off guard! Nice project man, it looks great.

Nice Cabinet! I just bought a cabinet just like that one that I am working on restoring. Where did you get the control panel overlay? I cant find one for this unit anywhere on the web.
