Well I was reading a page. And the guy said he really had a hard time finding a tv that would go automaticly on when power went on. My idea make a timer circuit that waits for about 20-40 seconds and then gives a pulse to the tv button. it'll go on automaticly.

Sounds OK, but there must be an easier way, like just bypassing the whole power circuit and just making the power come on right away anyhow. Of course, if this person wanted to spend a few extra dollars, he could "splurge" on a real arcade CRT, which would only probably cost, at the most, $170 or so.
Emulation isn't accurate. There is no substitute for real hardware!
