got it guys...awesome thx so much as always

hey could someone please help me out...i got this to work WAY back...but now i totally forgot how to do it now. Ive been trying for the last 3 hours I want MAME to run on my secondary monitor not my primary...and u can do this according to the MAME docs http://mamedev.org/s...indows.txt.html If you look at line 222 it talks about how to do it but i cant seem to get it right. ---This is what the mame.ini file looks like that has to be altered. Could someone please tell me what to edit to have MAME only run on my secondary monitor fullscreen please? # WINDOWS VIDEO OPTIONS # video d3d numscreens 1 window 0 maximize 1 keepaspect 1 prescale 1 effect scanlines75x3_j4 waitvsync 1 syncrefresh 0 # # DIRECTDRAW-SPECIFIC OPTIONS # hwstretch 1 # # DIRECT3D-SPECIFIC OPTIONS # d3dversion 9 filter 1 # # PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS # screen auto aspect auto resolution auto view auto screen0 auto aspect0 auto resolution0 auto view0 auto screen1 auto aspect1 auto resolution1 auto view1 auto screen2 auto aspect2 auto resolution2 auto view2 auto screen3 auto aspect3 auto resolution3 auto view3 auto ----Or if its easier maybe just add a command line option? And if so what do I add exactly? Any help would greatly appreciated! Thx

I know this will be an odd question. But is there a way to rotate the GameExtender viewer? I really need to rotate it CCW 90 degrees If there is no way to do this could it be added as an option? Thanks

awesome thx for the help...ill check it out later tonight. hopefully it works...!

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!

hah! thats awesome Tempest thanks!

ah ok thx for the info Tempest, ill definitely keep checking for updates

thats perfect.....thx bkenobi!

Hi guys, is it possible to "rotate" GameEx CW or CCW? Not the games but the frontend itself... thx

Tempest, yep that did the trick. It works perfectly now (knock on wood) **Would be really cool if you could create a window that showed the high scores! Thanks for your help

ah ok...thx Tom. That would actually be really helpful. It wouldn't have to be on the navigation because i know there is no room but maybe like a keyboard shortcut? Maybe there already is one and i just haven't done the proper due diligence yet to find out.

haha anyone?

Sry if this is a dumb question but is there any way to perform a game search while "in" your mame game list and not have to go "home" to do it? Thanks

Ok Tempest, this bug i found happens a lot. Maybe 35% of the time? But it's VERY random too. Let me explain: (**fyi i'm using the latest version of InfranView) 1) I have MM (Marquee Magician) setup to launch a single infranview window for a mame marquee on my 2nd monitor. And that's it. The infranview window is 1650 x 490 2) My GameEx is setup w/ CPWizard. When I launch a MAME game CPWizard will show the CPanel on the 2nd monitor for that game for a few seconds like regular. Then after the CPanel goes away the screen refocuses/refreshes and will then will show the MM InfranView window with the marquee for that game. BUT about 35% of the time when it's "refocusing/refreshing the screen" it will do either one of these 2 things in the 2 screen shots i've attached for you below: I'll either get a file header error or that file window will pop up of whatever that window is pointing to. And it's really random which one i will get. I can launch 10 games successfully with MM and no problems at all. Then all of a sudden I will get this bug randomly. And it's not a particular game. I can use MM fine with a particular game 5 times then maybe on the 6th try get this bug. I know it's not a conflict with CPWizard because even when i disable CPWizard it still has this problem. Also, once this problem happens it keeps doing it for every single game afterwards and i have to relaunch GameEx to make it go away. It's kinda driving me nuts lol because I really want this to work flawlessly. Any ideas? **Also on a side note...is there a way to create a MM window and have it display a list of the high scores for that game? If they are enabled for that game? That would be too cool.... Thanks MM_errors_and_configs.rar

Yes the statistics window is actually really cool! You know it's really odd that no one is using this...i see it especially handy for VP8 in particular with the handling of backglasses. Maybe most people just don't have dual monitors. Me personally could not live w/ just one anymore. This app you built is like a total must have for me. ***UPDATED: the only thing that may cause some people problems is if you point to a folder of images and the images vary in size dimension and the infranview window you created DOESN'T fit whatever the largest size image is in that folder the InfranView window freaks out and acts really funny. ***Also there is a bug that i found. I'll post it later w/ a screenshot.

UPDATE: This thing is awesome Tempest........great work. It's so easy too use too once you know what to do. If more people had dual monitors i think lots of people would be using this. i can seem to load and save templates now too....

Does anyone know what happened to the site where you get the controls.dat / xml file? It's been down for awhile. http://fe.donkeyfly.com/controls/controls.php Is there another place to get this? Thx

Thx Headkaze, i compiled mame w/ the bezel .diff and that un-pausing of mame now makes such a HUGE difference...thx for doing that

hi, sry what exactly is CPWizard artwork? Ive never seen any before anywhere....what does it look like? thx

Is anyone using the newest version of Null DC? How is it? Is it a huge improvement? And is it easy to setup w/ GameEx? I'm still using my really old Nulldc_100b1_6 version. I'm afraid to even touch my DC setup in GameEx because it took Brian's help to get it working right in the 1st place. Thanks

Hey guys, I haven't messed with CPWizard much lately, what does this mean exactly from Headkazes last update below from his site? I'm not sure what the view bezels means or does? "bezel_0129u2.zip Patch update. This allows you to view bezels created in CPWizard inside Mame when you pause. It also adds the ability to unpause Mame when you exit CPWizard. Hopefully this patch will work for subsequent versions of Mame." Also when compiling MAME for this, do i have to do the hiscore .diff first before this bezel .diff? or does it not matter at all? Also does it work with .0130? THanks

hmm thats weird. is this the new Mameworld website? what happens to all the websites Mameworld hosted? For example like the 3D Arcade ?

Anyone know what happened to MameWorld's website? It's been gone for a few days now and of course all the sites it hosted are gone as well.....geez I hope it's not gone. It hosted the 3D Arcade website and many other numerous great resource emulation sites.

awesome thx everyone for the repsonses!

What is the easiest way to get rid of all the "crap" in a complete full set of MAME roms? I'm doing it manually and it's pretty time intensive. Is there another way to do it that easier / quicker? thx!
