$250 How can I output RPI3B+ to show on two serperate monitors MAME / PunchOut!!
mrclean:
Ultimately I'm looking to build a dedicated Dual Screen set up while using the RPI3B+ (Raspberry Pi 3b+ in conjunction with MAME .78 / Libretro / retroarch MAME .139 SET or on Raspberry Pi Libretro 2010). Is it capable / possible of outputting specifically for MAME .78MAME .139 SET or on Raspberry Pi Libretro 2010 with the following listed games (i.e. Punchout!! Super Punchout!! Arm Wrestling, Nintendo Playchoice 10) what settings within MAME libretro / retroarch is needed & or is additonal hardware needed to achieve this ?! I'm looking to use HDMI out from the Pi to VGA in on the monitors. (Both of the monitors have VGA inputs) Do I need to change settings within MAME if so how, and or do I need to purchase any type of adapters / cables etc
Currently my games are playing fine on a dedicated single monitor albeit on a horizontally orientated monitor or a vertically oriented monitor. The games above would be for a dedicated Dual horizontal setup with just those types of games. The game outputs two different images to two different screens. As an example :
I have access to SSH / WinSCP to modify the config files etc. I'm pretty confident this is achievable but I can't seem to find answers on how to do so.
**I'm going to offer a $50.00 Now $250 PayPal Bounty if someone can get this going how I described, Once I get it going 100% I will send you the $50.00 NOW $250 PayPal Bounty. Ideally someone can post for everyone to share this info in the future as I'm sure I'm not the only one looking to do this. In theory I can physically send out my RasperryPI3b+ / micro SD Card / Power Adapter / along with the GPIO to VGA adapter. I won't send two Monitors because it's too heavy and too expensive to ship etc.** Ideally I wouldn't need to send out my stuff and someone can properly walk me through it. I will only be paying one person the $50 NOW $250 bounty.** No external links to other sites, all done via BYOAC. I've been a member of BYOAC for just about 13 Years now so I'm not sure if that's something I can do in years past that knoweldge was provided for free, but I just want this done figure i'd put out some incentive. If i can't post this mods let me know... just trying to help out someone who's helping me etc.

Its possible. But with free PCs out there, why bother? As I understand it, life is supposed to be made easy. ::)

I'm pretty confident it's been done before. I've been searching a while and can't figure it out. I was hoping someone had a solution or insight as to what settings / and or hardware was needed to achieve this. Again I'm using raspberry Pi3b+
In conjunction with MAME / Libretro 2003 / Retroarch. MAME Set .78.
Dual screen setup anyone help ?! :dunno

Well if you insist. You can drive a usb monitor (should be fast enough) or buy gpio vga. Retroarch will recognize the second display, not sure about emulationstation. Lots of info on it on reddit. Gpio vga is the cheapest route.

I tried this last yr with attract mode looking to use a second monitor as a digital marquee.
the second display off the gertboard is framebuffer only.
no x console.
so I needed to use something that outputs directly to frambuffer.
I stopped there and didn't try using mame in that way so it may work.
