Is it possible to build a 6 player X-Men?

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.

two vga monitors are ok as long as you don't use LCD ones (they're not bright enough).

MAWs lists the display size as 288 wide (presumably each of the two CRT's is that width)
Would it be possible to use a nice 768 LCD television set? I think using a single display to render both monitor outputs would be the best choice because then your cabinet would work well with other games.

Of course is possibile, but if you want the same experience of the original cabinet you must use 2 CRT

Really? I haven't seen a setting in Mame to lay out multi-monitor output side by side on a single monitor. When I say "possible", I mean possible without chaning MAME. How would you do it?
