Title: Dual Monitor Support
Post by: spjuenger on July 14, 2009, 12:20:19 am

Do any of the MAME front ends support dual monitors?  I have a 7 inch Lilliput touchscreen left over from my truck pc that I'm thinking about adding to my mame project.

With WebMAME you can get many frontends to work dual screen... As long as their gui doesn't conflict with mames... because you can setup WebMAME to keep the game running and give control back to the front end right away... then when you launch the next game, it will stop the game and launch the next game.  This does screw up the auto save state, but expected (until I figure out how to force send a esc through java like howards wrappers does it).

btw, I use it to run a frontend on my main computer, and have cabinet always running a game on my cabinet.
