Hi all,
So I finally have Groovymame running fairly well. Here's my setup:
Frontend: Launchbox/Bigbox, running Groovymame, regular MAME (for a few ROMs' that seem to not like Groovymame) and Retroarch for the rest.
GPU: R9 380x with EmuDriver installed, with the custom resolutions uploaded via VMMaker
Displays: (currently set as "Extended" in Windows)
Display 1: 1080p LCD for configuring. Will eventually be replaced with a Pixelcade LCD as a Marquee
Display 2: 27" JVC CRT via component input (DVI -> VGA -> Transcoder -> CRT). This is the display that runs Bigbox, and what I want Groovymame to output to.
Currently, groovymame only outputs to the CRT if I set it as the primary display. Otherwise, it outputs to the LCD, and the CRT is blank.
As I'll need the LCD connected for at least a few weeks for tweaking configurations, it's tedious to go back and forth between the two. Plus I'll eventually replace it with a different LCD to act as a marquee. I know there's a way to I'm sure there's a way to set it up where I can keep the LCD as the priimary windows display, and have Groovymame output to the CRT?
Arcade OSD lists the LCD as \\.\DISPLAY1, and the CRT as \\.\DISPLAY2
I'm assuming that with this information, I need to somehow modify the mame.ini in the Groovymame directory, but for the life of me, I can't figure out exactly what I need to do. I would appreciate any/all help.
Regards,
Rolyen
P.S. I'll post parts of my mame.ini file in case it helps (These are my current settings):
