Is this even possible? (Programmers look in here)

ChadTower:


If you had the source code, sure, it's possible.  Just about anything is possible.

ahofle:

Pretty neat idea.  I'm guessing you would definitely have to modify MAME's source for it though (as opposed to making it a frontend feature).

bluevolume:

You could modify the video driver to split the display into 2 functional monitors.  This would be easiest, and would allow you to use existing MAME software.

Actually, you could probably just write a memory-resident layer instead of modifying the video driver itself.  This would be more universal.

2600:

For MAME this is possible already.

What you want to do is use the Artwork system.  Shouldn't be too difficult once you understand the syntax.  Technically, I believe some of the one's on Mr. Do's site already do this to a certain extent.  Check out ChaseHQ and maybe the NeoGeo ones for examples and play with them to get them how you want them.

BobA:

How about a mod to mame32?    It can put the game in a window already and also displays marquees etc when in the front end portion.
