Post by: acidblue0 on September 23, 2009, 05:34:26 pm
Is there a way to run the dual screens for Cyberball on mame?

On the same monitor or on dual monitors?

You can also just turn off the 2nd screen if you don't want the stacked appearance on a single monitor. My solution though was to buy an actual 4 player cyberball cab. :D

you may have to hit tab and look at the video options once you launch the game. thats how i get 2 monitors workign on xmen.

you may want to do it in the game's .ini file instead of mame.ini  if you do it in mame.ini, it will enable 2 monitors for all games.  if you put that in that game's ini file, it should do it just for that game.

severdhed - Are you using a dual output video card ? Or what would the hardware options be for dual monitors ?
Like in your X-Men example, not just duplicate images.

yeah, this is on my desktop PC, i have a cheap dual output card in it, connected to two 17" CRT monitors (i'm hoping they die before too long so i can justify the purchase of two 22" LCDs)

once i enabled that, it worked just fine.  i think i had to hit tab and go to video options and enable it...but i could be wrong.  i can't go upstairs and test it now because we just put the kids to bed and if i go up there too soon, they will hear me and start crying

I love that little mirror they put just under the marquee, so you could give your opponents the evil eye.  ;)

I just had a brain fart. I have a dual screen nintendo cabinet. What's stopping me from slapping 2 lcd's, then slapping a computer in it. Will that work?
