$250 How can I output RPI3B+ to show on two serperate monitors MAME / PunchOut!!

I haven’t been this happy on someone else’s behalf in years.

LOL did people actually think that they could claim the bounty just by posting the RPI4 was out, I posted because i thought it would help the OP :D
Looking at the size of the pi and how close the micro HDMI are i would think the adapters would be too tight and new cables would be better

I don't use those type of adapters your probably thinking of I'm using a somewhat adapter / cable combo... so these should be fine:
Did they improve the PCB HOLES om the RPI4 for plastic pcb feet, or do I need to still drill them ?! I have one on the way so I'll find out soon enough. I'd be really excited to know how much of an improvement the emulation gets or compatibity of various mame games going from the rpi3b+ to the rpi4 will be. 1g 2g vs 4g. That's an entirely different thread as the Nintendo PC-10, Punch Out!! dual screens don't require that much. I'm curious about things that are somewhat playable or not at all on the rpi3b+ to having it run 100%. I'm sure those threads will pop up soon enough.

My post was a intended to be amusing but it appears the humor was lost...

Got it.... Ended up getting the 2gb model which is probably overkill for Punch Out!!, Super Punch Out!!, Arm Wrestling, Nintendo Playchoice-10 etc but I figured I'd get the middle model for other game / performance testing however this one is pretty much just going to be for those older Dual Screen Games.
First thing I was curious about since I place these inside cabinets without cases, is did they improve the design (from the rpi3b+) so I don't need to drill larger holes on the PCB... they did NOT... still need to drill holes the screws / for the common PCB feet screws don't fit unless drilling larger holes:
I also noticed this solder packet was incredibly close to the metal on the pcb screw, I needed to use a nylon spacer, which I've done in the past for the rpi3b+ however the rpi4 looks like I now need to use 3x spacers as opposed to 2x previously not a big deal.
Here you can see I got 3x heat sinks that came with it , where are they supposed to be placed ? Is this correct ? I didn't stick the adhesive backing onto the spots you see in this photo just yet, but I'm pretty sure this is where they should be placed ?!:
Here you can see the NEW C-type power supply along with the adapters I'll need for the monitors I'm going to be using:
I haven't tried to insert my microSD card image from my RPI3B+, I'd be surprised if it works and is compatible with the RPI4, very likely I'll need to start from scratch and just rebuild. I did notice that on retropi's website : "The latest pre-made image of RetroPie is v4.4 – released April 14, 2018." I'm not sure if anyone tested that yet on the RPI4 yet but that's my next step...
And after reading this thread a bit : https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/2749
I'm going to likely need to wait for RetroPie v4.5
