I've pushed out an update via Dexter Manager that makes Dexter more robust for an arcade/production environment. In the past, if Dexter crashed, it would pop up an unhelpful error message and one would have to power cycle it. Not good! This was always just a temporary measure while I worked on other features. Now I've changed it so if Dexter crashes, it will write a log file to the USB drive and then restart itself.
FYI, Dexter crashes are extremely rare, so rare that I can't get it to happen. But it does happen occasionally to other people so now instead of shrugging helplessly, I can have them send me their log files to help troubleshoot. Win/win. And since it auto-restarts, no one will have to manually power cycle the thing anymore.
Incremental improvements.. :)
