Forcing Mala/MAME to arcade monitor
« on: May 10, 2010, 05:48:11 pm »
Hey everyone,

I just got my arcade cabinet working at the weekend and have chosen MaLa to be its frontend. As I'm using an original monitor with an ArcadeVGA card, I've also setup an extra monitor behind the coin door for administration and such. As it's the higher res of the two, I've set that one to be the primary display, but I obviously want MaLa and MAME to run on the arcade monitor.

Is there any way I can force them to open on that specific monitor so I don't have to keep swapping the primary? I've searched around the forums to little avail. It seems like this isn't an issue for anyone else, but there must be someone that's done the same setup as me!

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks all,

Max
