mame dual monitors support ??

[hyiu]

Hi All:

I am in the process of building another cab, and would like to ask a question.

For games that have 2 screens (the particular game I am interested in is cyberball) where the arcade has 2 screens for 4 players that can play each other, and basically 2 players can play against the other 2.

Does Mame has any support in displaying the 2nd video ?

I really appreciate any support !!
Thanks !!

and how to configure ?
or a link to where I can find that ??

thank you thank you !!!

Are you trying to display them on separate monitors or show both original screens on one monitor? (MAME can do either)

[Malenko]

just hit tab when MAME is running the game and look at video options.

I found the option in the newer version of MAMEUI64.

However, sadly, the game that I wanted does not support mutli screen display.

MAME will only output to the same number of monitors as the original game. Load up a game like Outrunners , Punchout, or even the 6 player Xmen game and try the video option then.  If you want 2 monitors to output the same thing, change your desktop to duplicate display instead of extending it.  If you want MAME to extend a single screen game across 2 screens, it doesnt work that way.

It may be an issue of running the right revision of the game or changing something in the service menu.
I'll look at it this weekend.

I get a kick out of playing punch-out on my vertically oriented widescreen monitor.
