Well some of that is possible. Can animations be added to the additional screens? Sure. The primary screen? Eh... well fullscreen games make it difficult (but not impossible) to draw on them. I know for outrun fxt I have to force the screen into windowed mode and use the video (as in mpeg) overlay in conjunction with a magenta color keyed form to insert graphics and I can't do true translucency. It's quite taxing on the system resources as well. Long story short the bezel would probably have to be static unless mame decides to add animation support to artwork files. Yeah you could jerry rig a windowed instance of mame in the center, but it'd be a pain in the butt to keep everything where it should be. |

My head still spins about the speed at which all this hardware can function. Learning how a crt works as a result of this hobby has made me even more amazed at the whole thing in general. Never even mind the concept of overlaying instances of separate functions on the same screen and keeping that together. Whoa |

I don't get it. --- End quote --- probably because there is too much flex in the plexi and the bottom of the controls would hit the LCD under the CP. |

Whoa --- End quote --- most of it is 2d graphics. most 4 output video cards from the last 5 yrs that can play fortenite on medium could handle that. if they were using shaders to emulate a CRT for the game portion of the screen..maybe you'd need more horsepower but it looks like they are just maintaining aspect using mame layouts. people did that with one monitor on the rpi3. |
