Dual monitors?
<< < (4/4)
AlanS17:
Have you tried MAME32? Perhaps it's more Windows-friendly.
StephenH:
Use one of those VGA Multipliers that are often used for presentation smart classrooms which have a monitor and a projector.
etumor:
I've done dual monitors with MAME before, always as a test situation.  I've used both ATI and nVidia cards.  As long as I was using a Windows port of MAME, it worked perfectly.  I just set the properties to clone the output to both monitors.

The one problem I did run into was with Daphne.  The MPEG video would only output to my "primary" monitor.  I could switch it back and forth, but I couldn't have it on both monitors at once.  The monitor without the video would just be black.

You guys are getting *way* too complicated on this. Go pick up a $9 VGA Y cable and you're done. I use them all the time here at work.. we split the video from an instructor machine between the instructor monitor and the projector, and similar things in conference rooms for customer demos and presentations. You do not need one of those expensive multi-monitor boxes or anything of the like for simply putting the output onto two monitors.

Here's a first hit on google... $15, http://www.touchscreens.com/vga-y.html but I'm sure you can find one under $10 if you look hard enough like I do :)
