Title: 2nd Monitor for dynamic marquee
Post by: langlem on February 06, 2017, 10:02:24 pm

Have any of you figured out how to get the pi to output artwork to a second monitor?  Just wondering if there was anything like MameHooker or HyperMarquee that is out there?

Thanks!
Matt

Technically a usb displaylink adaptor is supported on RPI but the cost of those makes it kinda pointless.
I do have a usb video card but cannot make it work.

GERT VGA 666 - i have one coming but dual monitors isn't dual desktops.
You can send video's and pictures i believe to the second monitor only.
Attract mode might work for this but i don't knoiw.

I actually went and bought a core2duo mini-pc off ebay for $30 and plan to use that for mame/dynamic marquee for now.

I have this all set up with a windows pc...was just wondering if someone, far smarter and computer (pi) savvy than me had figured it out on the rasp pi.

Thx!
