There are two ways.Both were tested on my machine.
1.Connect PC power cord to the main power cor of the machine just before it get in the switch box.
After that set in BIOS settings of the PC Power on after Loose or something.
At this point,when you switch the machine on everything will start automatically.
After you switch it off everything will off.

2.This way is much more work but it's more safety(for me personally).

First-Connect PC power cord to the main power cor of the machine just before it get in the switch box.
After that set in BIOS settings of the PC Power on after Loose or something.
At this point,when you switch the machine on everything will start automatically.

Second-took out with two wires F1 button from some old keyboard with switches.The keyboard must be connected to the PC of course to work everything.
Third-took out with two wires Power On button from the PC mainboard.

Forth-Place both F1 and Power On buttons where you want around coindoor for easy access.
I just drilled two holes on bоttom of the machine next to the coindoor and put two switches/buttons where I soldered them-one for F1 and one for Power On.

So when you press F1 button,you will leave the emulator and when you press Power On button you will shut down the PC.

easy to do ..

Yes,and this controller to,but will cost more money than 4 wires and 2 buttons.

What's a pinbox? I don't understand what the computer is doing in the pinball machine. Please explain. Thanks

Change the power on bios settings, works perfect.
