Is it possible to build a 6 player X-Men?
jlfreund:
I'm curious whether it's possible to build a 6player XMen (my all time favorite) from scratch?
The Roms are imperfect, but it's not clear from MAWS what to expect works and doesn't work.
Does anyone know how one would go about getting two arcade monitors to line up seamlessly, then find a video card and driver that would work with it?
Maybe there's an easier way, like buying a PCB and just using that to drive some kind of special arcade monitors and new controls?

Think most of the newer decent video cards offer screen splitting to more than one monitor.

Hey,
I am not sure about using 2 arcade monitors, but using 2 Pc montiors is easy enough. Right now, my personal computer has that set-up. ( Two monitors side by side using a horizontal video stretch. ) X-Men 6 players looks awesome on it. A lot of newer video cards have VGA and a DVI output. DVI to VGA adapters usually come with your card, so setting up two VGA PC monitors isn't that hard.
It would probably be more difficult to get two arcade monitors working, but I am sure it is possible.
By the way, I have some schematics of the original X-men 6 player arcade. (Found them on this forum a while ago.) I will post them later, if you want them.
