I do not use retropie, so I have no idea. I use a distro without a GUI and compiled myself. Use the find command in the terminal to find the file you are looking for. People have used dual screens on the pi. A two second search yielded that. I can’t give you an answer because I don’t have the product to test, so it’s pointless. Hold your britches and wait until you can trial and error your way through it when the gert vga666 arrives. This is a project. No one is going to do it for you.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT FILE I'M LOOKING FOR !! Although I'm pretty certain its a config file to which one and where it's located I have no idea. Again to reiterate I'm using a single MAME ROM / LOAD to JUST one rom, IT loads PERFECTLY on a single monitor. The purpose of this thread is to have it split to it's respective two monitors. I don't need to use any other stuff other than MAME just one single ROM etc / This is going inside a dedicated cabinet. It doesn't necessarily need to use retropi but as of now that's what I'm utilizing.
**I'm Still looking for help with someone whose successfully gotten this to work using the following parameters. I have YET to get confirmation if this can be used with this set up :MAME .78 OR do I need to use MAME 2014 / .159 SET ? / Libretro 2003 / RetroArch !? Where is the MAME .INI or video options needed to change where in SSH can I find where that config file is. Also no ones answered can I even use what I'm looking to accomplish with MAME .78 Libretro 2003 / RetroArch or do I need to use MAME .159 Libretro 2014 / RetroArch.
Again I'm using a Raspberry Pi3b+
VGA GERT666 GPIO to VGA adapter (awaiting on hardware)
HDMI to VGA adapter (works perfectly on single monitor games)
Libretro 2003 / MAME Set .78
RetroArch
Also to note this is for a SINGLE LOAD / boot ROM (No menus / no front ends etc) . I.E:
Punch Out!!
Super Punch Out!!
PC-10
Arm Wrestling
*The single load is fine where that it will load to just one game / rom that I want it to with a proper psuedo shutdown etc. my entire focus is getting any of the above games to be properly split to their two respective 19'' monitors displaying different pictures as they were originally intended to do so. I'm sure other people will benefit or want to do exactly what I'm looking to accomplish. If someone wants to PM me the info no problem like I said I'm still placing the bounty on it. If someone wants to help and post it publicly great!

You don’t know what file you are looking for? Do I have to quote you where you said what file you are looking for? :dunno :dizzy:
If your looking for single boot, I created a guide you can follow. It includes everything you should need except the second monitor. You will need to refer to the gert repo for setting that up, then do some research on mame commands for screen parameters.
If you need more help, you can always pm me a way for contact.

Already stated above, I have a single boot running perfectly with virtually any game on a single monitor.

PM sent... Yes I do need more help, ive tried various settings / options don't understand how to get this to work properly on two separate screens using the gert666 / MAME 2003 Libretro .78 MAME set / RetroArch / Rpi3b+.
Again just looking for a dual screen game to properly output to two separate monitors the way it was originally intended to do so while using hdmi to vga for one monitor (the main image bottom picture), and gert666 (gpio / vga out to vga in) on the second monitor. I know this is doable just don't know which config file / setting that needs to get changed.

Did that gpio vga adapter arrive from China yet? Does it mess up the HDMI output when used at the same time?
Why don't you PM Haze and see if he can get it working for you.
