Now that my project is nearing completion - cab is very playable...

I am looking at potential upgrades.  One of which is using Marquee Magician:
http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=6911

To show CPWizard controls for each game on a small LCD.  I am considering mounting this either below the monitor (which is raised about 3" from the bottom of the cabinet) or using a fold down LCD between the speaker grilles in the speaker area.

Has anyone done this with a small LCD as a second monitor?  I have done some searches for second monitor, etc but no one shows pictures.

Thanks... looking forward to where this group could take a project like this...

I know an LCD of choice in a lot of modding communities is the PSOne LCD: ebay link shortened

Here's a pinout for it: http://www.gamesx.com/avpinouts/psxav.htm

There probably isn't much that hasn't been done with this screen, so there should be plenty of documentation if you look.

jeffremiller:
Good Info Kayden!  Thanks.

But I'm not sure 5" is large enough to really see... and the one's I am looking at are touchscreen too (for possible Juke Box apps)

Like this one:

Or this one for flip down:

Kayden:
I have no experience with touchscreen beyond laptops or POS units, but size wise, I think 5" is plenty for displaying just a control panel.

However, if you do want to use it for a juke, then I suppose you'll want a touchscreen if a CP full of buttons isn't enough.  =P

Not touchscreen but I see your point with all the CP buttons.
