Title: [SOLVED] Second Screen Issue: Some Games also appear on marquee screen
Post by: Max_FS on April 04, 2020, 05:58:11 pm

Dear all,

with my dual screen setup (CRT as main screen and LCD as marquee-screen) I have a general issue with a few games.

As mentioned in the subject, some games appear on both screens while for most games everything works fine with the game being shown on the crt and the marquee artwork being shown on the LCD.  I already checked the lay-files I have for every single game but those I think are not the problem. Can anybody help? A log file of a game with that issue is attached.

Many thanks and best regards
Max


My setup:
ASUS Z87-A Mainboard
Intel Pentium G3258 CPU
Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 GPU with CRT EMU-Driver, flashed with Atom-15
Windows 7
Sony Trinitron CRT as first screen
Stretched LCD as second screen
GroovyMame (version 0.218)
AttractMode (version 2.6.1)

In addition:
The problem is solved.

I had it with several games. In some cases there were problems with the lay-files (typing errors etc.)

However, in two cases everything was fine with the lay-files but I still had the problem that the game appeared on both screens.

When I opened the "video options"-menue it says "Marquee only", "Screen0 Standard" and "Screen0 Pixel Aspect". And then, in two out of 135 games I had to chose "Marquee only" manually and suddenly it also worked for the two games with that issue. I have no idea why this was different for two games while it worked for the rest.

However, maybe this further information is helpful for someone.

Best regards
Max
