Nice. The original Darius is a very underrated classic. Unfortunately, the three monitor setup of the original makes it hard to emulate properly.

Mame handles 3 screens games just fine.

 Hook up 3 screens, assign them in the options, and your done.

Interesting. I didn't realise MAME could do that. However, you've still got the problem of the borders.

Actually, its easy to replicate the original.  All you have to do is get a half silvered mirror,
and place the monitor the same way they did in the arcade, with no borders.
