Title: Johnny 5 2.6
Post by: Howard_Casto on June 02, 2006, 10:54:26 pm

This is mainly a bug fix release.  It fixes issues with j5 and older versions of mame. Also this package actually has the directional arrows included, which was a BIG screw up on my part last go around. 


same download place as usual.

Looks nice, any progress on making it display on a specific screen in dual monitor setups?

That's what I'm talking about. I have been doing a ton of searches trying to figure that one out, but I just can't seem to.

You can do that now, but it isn't officially supported


just use the -position tag when you launch it.

the resolution of your primary monitor is used as a base

for a display above your main display make the y value  negative the secondary displays res

(-position 0,-640,480,640 or something to the effect)

The "-listen" tag has been around since the first release.  It allows j5 to run constantly, and it merely checks a text file called "clo.txt" in it's base directory every few seconds for changes.    Combine the two, being sure to pass the listen command when you re-write the text and you have an app that stays on the secondary monitor and updates itself whenever a new games is launched.
