Dual Display using indash 7" LCD on Mameroom UAII
jeffremiller:
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.

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)

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.
