kingb33 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hey guys, I know you can run GameEx on a second monitor. But how do I get MAME to run on a secondary monitor instead of the primary one as well?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkenobi Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 There's a command line option. You can also put it in the mame.ini file. I think it's -screen, but I could be wrong.EDIT: Check out the MAME docs:http://mamedev.org/source/docs/windows.txt.htmlLook at line 196. That section details how to set up your screens.

Tempest Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I didn't actually try it but It looks like this to me, assuming that your second monitor is #2.## PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS#screen 2aspect autoresolution autoview autoscreen0 autoaspect0 autoresolution0 autoview0 autoscreen1 autoaspect1 autoresolution1 autoview1 autoscreen2 autoaspect2 autoresolution2 autoview2 autoscreen3 autoaspect3 autoresolution3 autoview3 auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkenobi Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I didn't check, but it's possible MAME uses the first screen as 0 so the second one would be 1. I only have one monitor, so I just leave it as "auto". Either way, it's a simple enough change, so you should be golden in a couple launches!
