As I recall, you can run AVIs, and other vids as well. But there were definate issues. One may be the player window, as you describe. Secondly, I don't know if focus would be an issue with vids. I tried it a year or two ago, and ditched it for some reason.
Let me know what you find out.

Hi there I am having trouble with this.
I've set up everything (I think) but Marquee magician doesn't seem to get the rom name from game ex. I'm using your ini but edited for my paths etc.
The default pic will show but not any other.
I'm having the same problem with Mame and Visual Pinball.
I'm using "[ROM]" switch. is this correct?
Please help as this prog is awesome and My cab is being built around using it.

Yes all solved however I am now building my CP and I have a monitor in it for instruction cards.
Now I realise MM is only for a second monitor. Any way to enable a third?
Thanks again for your help last time.

Probably the easiest thing for you to do would be to set up a template for your second monitor. (I'm assuming it will be one image) After the template is created, you can edit the i_view32.ini file in the template to the screen coordinates of your third monitor. For Example:
[WinPosition]
xKoord=640 (Upper left corner of the screen)
yKoord=0 (Upper left corner of the screen)
Width=1024 (Screen Width)
Height=768 (Screen Height)
Maximized=1
[Viewing]
FitWindowOption=2
UseResample=1
[Others]
RememberWinPos=1
[Toolbar]
Flag=0
Please let me know if this does/doesn't work.

Perhaps If i set the width to double and have two windows could that work? I'll let you know tomorrow as its getting late here.

Yeah, I see what you are saying. It would still be possible though. Set up your template for the second monitor the way you want it to look, then add an additional window with the path to the instruction cards. Then, edit the i_view32.ini for the last window with the info for your third monitor.

OK got it. So I set up the second monitor with both windows then adjust the ini file for the coordinates for the second window. Will try soon.

After a bit of stupidity on my part (looking at wrong ini file) It works like a charm.
Thank you once again for your awesome program and support.

Pics are always welcome. The cards are a good idea, I've never seen them before. Where did you get them from?
When you are all done, I would like a really nice video of a cabinet running Marquee Magician to put at the top of the thread.

The cards come mostly from the ingame artwork from mr do's arcade site. I'll do a vid when finished, may be a while though

It may never happen if you wait until you are finished. I've had my first cab since 2005 and I'm still not "finished". The second one has only been here for ~3 years and I'm almost content to call it done.

OK me again. Is there any way for MM to change while in GameEX ie whatever game is highlighted will show whatever on the other monitors?

No, there is not. I tried making it work in that way, but I had too many problems with stealing focus from GameEx. I'm really reaching here but GamExtender might display some stuff on a secondary monitor. It is built into GameEx, but I don't remember how to set it up. I also don't know if it would interfere with MM, or not.

You are probably aware of this, but you can create a template that will be displayed while in GameEx. You could create your own instruction card on how to run the FE to display on your third monitor, and a custom image for the second monitor. They would be static images though...

Yes I know this. Been playing around with animated gifs, but a FE instruction card is a good idea.
