Dual monitors?

(1/4) > >>

RobertBasil:
I'm sure someone here has used a dual monitor setup in Mame. But instaed of running Mame twice and having a different game on each monitor, I need it to show the same screen on both monitors and it needs to work with the windows version of Mame since I'll be using XP as my OS.

Has anyone done this? And if so, which dual monitor video card did you use?

Thanks for your help!

I havne't done it with mame, but I have done this with two video cards.  In display props setup both monitors to display the same desktop, not one big desktop.

But since Mame changes the monitor refresh rate (I think?) I was wondering if it would cause any problems with a dual monitor card.

Does anyone have a dual monitor card on your computer? If so, can you see if mame will run the same screen on both monitors? (If it works for you, I would like to know what brand and name of dual monitor card you have in your computer so I can buy the same one)

Thanks!

I have a 9800Pro set up with dual monitors on my main rig. I'll try it out tomorrow with a clone instead of extended desktop and see what happens.
