So I got the itch again and have started working on the beast again.
I recently upgraded the PC inside and added an NVidia 1080 video card to drive my Vive headset. way overkill for an arcade machine but this is also a gaming PC with an external 28" ultrawide screen for PC gaming.
so a few issues I am having...
win10 seems to change controller ID's on me or, I cant get a specific joystick to be controller 2, it always shows as joystick 3 in mame, no matter what order I plug it in. is there any way to force win10 to have a stick ID always be the same?
two screen issue. this new card only has dvi-d out for my arcade monitor. I have a dvi-d to vga adapter and that seems to be working the problem is, if I boot the machine with only the external ultrawide on, that becomes "display 1". turning on the arcade screen, it becomes display 2.
if I boot with both screens on, the arcade glass becomes display 1 (which is what I want) and the ultrawide is display 2.
that switch can play havoc with MAME and MESS. is there anything that I can do to 'force' the card to always have the dvi-d as display 1 and the DP as display 2, whether or not the screen(s) are on or off.
thanks all!
