Title: Mala LCD Marquee - Newbie cant figure it out
Post by: CobraChris on September 13, 2015, 11:12:56 pm
Sorry if this is in wrong section but tried to search and cant seem to figure out how to get a second screen output for a dynamic marquee. Im not computer wiz and seem to be all the ones people have used I cant seem to get to work correctly.

Im running Mala with Mame32, I have it running perfectly but I wanna experiment with a LCD Marquee but I just cant seem to figure it out.I have all the artwork files and have them working in a layout but want it on a second monitor.

Thanks everyone

Cobra,

This is done through Mame not Mala. I have a dual screen system (game screen and marquee) system running and can help.

You can use MameHooker for Mame games. For other emulators, I had to roll my own solution, detailed late in this thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,146850.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,146850.0.html)
