Hello,
I have a mame setup (v0.182/using mame64.exe) and its working fine on one monitor. My new computer this is on has 2 monitors plugged into it (one via hdmi, second on dvi) and I would like the ability to put marquee's on the 2nd monitor while I play my mame games on the 1st monitor.
Both monitors are working fine in Windows 7. I have tried to do some research and test a few things out but cannot get both monitors working.
What I have tried:
- testing with dkong in mame
- added dkong.png into the artwork folder. Also tried with the dkong.zip (with the png and default.lay) - Is this the correct way to add it?
- Enabled marquees in mame
- In mame.ini adjusted the following:
------------------------------------------
screen auto
aspect auto
resolution auto
view auto
screen0 auto
aspect0 auto
resolution0 auto
view0 Standard
screen1 auto
aspect1 auto
resolution1 auto
view1 Marquee
----------------------------------------------
- Tried mame at this point and it didn't work (nothing displayed on the 2nd monitor)
- Tried to enable a second monitor inside mame > video, although when I do this and launch a dkong the main screen goes black, and a window does appear on the second screen but it is all white - from here a force quit is needed. Anyone know what this happened? is there something else I need to enable in mame?
- Disabling the 2nd screen in mame gets me back to mame working with dkong but only one screen.
- tried using mame hooker but it didn't help.
I'm hoping that mame itself can do what I'm looking to do, rather than having to use mame hooker or something else.
Does any have any insight on this?
Thanks!!
