| Head to Head bartop? |

Best would be like unstupid mentioned, link two bartops together. I really like his neo-geo twins by the way, a neat read. Would be so much more awesome if both were fully functional by themselves as well as one turning into a controller and cloning the display for the other. |
| Dermee:
I would say it is possible to do. You could have one of the bartops (master) have a plug modded into the case which would output the display as well as have an input to a keyboard encoder within the master. The only problem would be the software side for the other bartop which you would have to putz with. |

I'm planning on using a KVM to switch the client bartop between usage modes, similar to the project below. The main difference is that I plan on using a video amplifier instead of trying to use dual monitors on a video card. I'm hoping that will make it easier to disconnect and reconnect the second bartop on the fly. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,117295.0/all.html |

Looks good kuchta. Have you noticed any lag or anything quirky? |
| kuchta:
I haven't even started anything yet. All I have now are the monitors. I'm hoping to get the ball rolling after the holidays at which point I'll start a project thread and hopefully have some answers. Input lag and encoder issues are my biggest concerns. I guess we'll see what happens! |
