I don't think you need to use a macro or anything like that.  I'm sure there are several options but the first one that comes to mind is to use a front end that is based on the windows screen resolution etc.  With that you just setup windows as dual monitor, create a layout that is big enough to cover both monitors and position everything where you need it to fit the two screens (with one of those CP viewer programs on the small screen of course).  Actually it might be easier than that once you get into it.. but I definitely think there is an easier way than trying to create your own macros since Front Ends have code built into them to launch a CP viewer program with the currently selected game as a parameter.

Beretta:
that would be pretty cool idea, i think it's doable.

keep us posted im interested in seeing how this turns out.

I am currently using the Hyperspin FE and I don't after searching those forums, I don't think it has a CP viewer. Any one else running Hyperspin and can confirm?

I checked out that project on the forum. That is precisely what I want to be able to do. How effective is the frontend for doing this? You may just get me to switch.

I've been wanting to make a micro bartop out of a PSOne 5" LCD screen I've got laying around but I have no idea how to interface it with a computer running MAME... too bad the ones in the OP are WS...

I think thats the problem with LCDs in general.  I struggled to find anything 4:3 in LCD locally.
