Kabuji74 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi, I have two monitors, one for horizontal games and one for vertical. It works well but both monitors have to be on (first to select games, secondary for playing) I want to make a setup for gameex to launch only vertical games on my secondary (vertical) monitor but I don't want to modify my actual settings. Could I install GameEx twice with separate settings ? Or is it another way to do so ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 @Kabuji74 I found this info on another forum: If you have a file in the root of your MAME folder named mame.ini make a copy of this file and name it Vertical.ini then look for the line in the file that says OSD PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS>screen and set its value to \\.\DISPLAY2 (It could be 1 instead of 2 depending on which screen is which on your setup). I've not tried this and I do not know on what Mame version Vertical.ini and Horizontal.ini began to be supported, but you could give it a go. I suggest against multiple installs of the same type of GameEx. You can install regular GameEx and GameEx Arcade Edition on the same PC though.

Kabuji74 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Thank you for the reply RedDog. I already have a setup with a vertical.ini and it works pretty well, but my purpose is to only have one monitor 'on' when I boot windows. So I installed GameEx Arcade Edition, told it to launch on secondary monitor and configured it only for vertical games and it works ! Thank you again.

stigzler Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 You can control displays via this tool: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/multi_monitor_tool.html e.g. MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \\.\DISPLAY3 Combine this with LaunchBefore options in GameEx and this could also help specify which monitor to launch a game on.
