Head to Head bartop?
(1/6) > >>
Dermee:
Greetings,
I have been perusing the forum but could not find any information about builds that utilize two monitors displaying the same screen in a sort of back-to-back bartop build. So one computer splitting the image out to two different monitors, each person with their own set of controls. Has this been done before? Would the computer need to be especially powerful to output to displays? Would this induce any sort of delays with regards to signal?

Oh and what a lovely site you all have here!

There was a build like this, not sure if it got finished, maybe someone with a better memory can remind us who was working on it... might have been an upright. I think Unstupid's excellent Neo Geo bartop pair (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,114435.msg1214082.html#msg1214082) are the closest I have seen. As far as mirroring to a second display, I don't think it taxes the computer at all, it is as simple as a cord with a Y-splitter. Love the idea of a head to head bartop... if I had two identical LCD displays it would be really hard not to try and make one...  reminds me of the Nintendo Red Tent cocktails. Welcome to the forum!

Edit: Beat to it by Nephasth!  :afro:
Dermee:
Awesome. Thank you for the quick reply. But I suppose I should get one built before I let my imagination get away from me.
