Awesome update headkaze, though I'm having some trouble with the sub display. Am I right in thinking it's possible to have a layout stay up on the sub display while MAME is running it's game, i.e playing Galaga on the main screen and having the Marquee and controls stay up on the sub screen?

Yes, that is what Sub Screen is. Do you have a secondary display set up as an "extended desktop"? Then it should be a matter of setting it in the display settings (usually \\.\DISPLAY2). You don't explain what trouble your having. Are you getting any errors in CPWizard.log?

Sorry, posted before morning coffee so was vague. :embarassed:
I'm not getting any errors in the CPWizard.log, though my problem is that I can't get the Sub Screen to display at all. I've got the two monitors set up as extended desktop and have no trouble getting the primary layout to show up on the second display if I set Options>Display>Screen>\\.\DISPLAY2.
I've got subscreen enabled in Options>Display>Sub Screen and have set it to \\.\DISPLAY2 however the second display doesn't respond (desktop image is still visible). If I set the Sub Screen to be \\.\DISPLAY1 it still doesn't show up.
I've selected a basic artwork layout for the sub screen in Options>Mame and have also tried using the built in Mame layout for it.
Are there any lines in the MAME.ini that need changing?
I'm running MAME 0.134u3 with the hiscore diff on Windows 7. I'm also running MAME and CPWizard 2.3 in XP compatibility mode.

You shouldn't need to run CPW in XP compatibility mode as it's a .NET app. I am a little confused about why the sub screen is not showing. Are you using a different resolution for your secondary monitor? If you run a MAME game from command line while CPW is minimized to the icon tray does the sub screen window appear then? Are you doing any tests via Remote Desktop because Sub Screen will turn itself off if it doesn't detect a secondary monitor.
