Title: Second Monitor for Controls/Marquee
Post by: xavor on September 04, 2014, 01:23:52 pm

Hey,
I got my Hands on a 25:5 aspect ratio monitor i want to use as a dynamic marquee.
It appears on Windows as a second monitor with a res of 1280x800, while having only approx 1280x340 px.

Do you now any software to display a picture on second screen in FullScreen i could launch via command line?

Greetings, Olli

Check out the Marvel Vs. Capcom: Revolution version 2.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,139647.0.html) and Blip (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,137295.0.html) threads.

Marquee Magician and MAME Hooker are possible software options.

Several sources for fairly-high res marquees:

*  MAMELayPlus has a number of them here (http://mamelayplus.jimdo.com/descargas/).

*  Arcade Artwork has some here (http://arcadeartwork.org/index.php?/category/37) -- not as many, but higher res than MAMELayPlus.
