Two identical cabinets side by side, each with 8-way, 4-way, 6 buttons, trackball and spinner. Run by a single computer so that they acted as a single cabinet with player one on cabinet one, and player two on cabinet 2.

It would support pretty much everything, without cramped panels, or being cramped up next to the guy next to you.

i was going to this this in a nintendo vs duel cab but opted out due to money concerns (also was gonna do 2 ps2 w/ link cable)  imagne the fun of light gun games or fps with no split screen..the glory

any way...be unique and do whatever you want personally... i'm doing a second lcd 7.2 above cp.

Here's something funny, with my two monitor ATI AIW card, I can drag the pinmame portion to the other monitor, but it slowly makes its way back to the original screen.

Anyone know why?

Generic Eric:

Can we hope to see something (a program perhaps, besides a text viewer...) that will display info from Hiscore.dat?  I think that would be a fine use for a second display.  

Mount your display and post pictures of it!  So we can see pinmame in action.

Yeah... if the pinmame window is manually dragged out of bounds or is larger than the screen you are dragging it to it automatically scrolls back.  It's actually in the mame code too, try it.  ;)

My wrapper fixes this though, I'll let you know as soon as it's ready for prime time and you can try it.  

eric, of course the dats will be supported, but you do know that there isn't any data stored in the hiscore.dat don't you?  It's just a file that helps mame figure out where to store hiscores afaik.
