Mini Monitors
Invincer:
Tempest over on the GameEx forums (Morpheus here) has created a program called Marquee Magician that willl pop up images of the current MAME game on a seconday monitor using GameEx. I have it runnning on a 7" touchscreen off to the side (haven't installed it above the main monitor yet). It's great, it allows you to choose what folders to pull the images from be it a combination of CPs, cabinets, flyers, etc... even statistics. I have been talkingg to him this week and he is going to look into seeing if he can get it working for HyperSpin also. He posted here about it also but I don't think anyone took him up on trying to make it available on other FEs when he offered the source.

Just a little FYI because I for one can't wait to have it working in HS as good as it does in GameEx

Could you just use a TV out? I'm not sure how Micro you are talking though... Also, you could do the PS1 VGA hack.
Morpheus:
If all you want to do is display your CP, then use CPWizard by HeadKaze. It has an option to output to monitor 2.
Ginsu Victim:
CPWizard, unless it has finally been updated to do so, does not allow you to load an image and keep it there on startup. You have to pause.

You might be able to send the pause key on launching MAME using an AHK script or something... ???
