consider installing a NES emulator on your cabinet as well.

A NES emulator will play the old NES roms, which are pretty much the equivalent of the PlayChoice-10 system. Since I haven't used a NES emu, I don't know which is best. But I do know it uses original NES roms instead of the PC-10 roms.

Is there any way to run PlayChoice-10 games with the instructions screen turned off? Or, to run the game with an overscan so only the game area of the screen shows up? Since my monitor is horizontal, I'd like to maximize the play area if possible; my kids like the PC-10 games.

[TAB]
"Video Options"
"Screen 0 Standard (4:3)"
Do it once, and it's saved in the game's CFG file.
Rinse and repeat for the rest.

There's also an optional bios you can use which allows you to use only one screen. I think the new dual screen stuff screwed it up though. (You still have to specify the one monitor for each game like with the standard bios, only you aren't missing anything.)

You need NES roms as stated above. I would suggest FCE Ultra as an emulator.

Hi there.
Other option (like I did) is to download a special mame32 build that lets config. the display mode: http://mame32fx.altervista.org.
(It can be run like any normal commandline mame version from the frontend).
In order to config the display you have to enter each game individually: TAB --> Display -->
Hope this helps,
Congui
