I'm gettin a bad shape red tent cab for a present, but both monitors work, I was wondering is there a way to take a single screen game(lets say...smash TV, or marvel vs capcom...I'm deciding on which) and hook it to both monitors? This may sound like a stupid question, But I want some advice I can trust before I try to hook up both monitors to the same jamma video connection. any advice/products that may help.

If you are looking to display what is normally on one screen on two (two primary monitors) then just like hooking up to monitors to a dual output video card on a pc you could do the same in the cab. I have been out of the loop for a little bit but look into getting a dual vga video card and or two vid cards overall and use multiple vga-->??? (what you have as a connector) and set windows to display the same on both. Two primary outputs. If this is the same red tent nintendo cocktail im thinking of a vga monitor that fits in there should be very easy to come by thus increasing the ease of this undertaking and make everything look better and easy to adjust as well.

I'm talking about arcade monitors. I want to put a game pcb like smash tv in And one player gets one side while Player 2 gets the other. It doesn't sound too hard considering the game (no split screen). But the main issue is if I can hook up two arcade monitors to the same RGB sync on a jamma harness. and what would happen? I don't have the cab yet but I'm buying parts now, so I just need to know if 2 arcade monitors can be hooked up to the same pcb.

I have done that with my MAME cabinet. 2 monitors one image. This is when I have my cab in work in progress and then i have turn one o f the monitor vertically for vertical games and split the POWER to just power one at a time but the RGB cables a all in tack. One thing you just need to make sure is that if all possible, use the SAME MONITOR, BRAND, MODEL ETC.... Some monitor requires that the SYCN are sepearted and some need COMPOSITE (twist two h/v sync). I have both WG 72xxx series.
