Info on second display advice

[stigzler]

Hi folks,

MId-build + also on-the-fly modifications!

Have a space below the monitor bezel (about 5" deep) just asking to be filled with a small LCD to display things on.

Seen another guy put a small LCD on his CP to display game controls.

So.... assembling cab this weekend - last minute advice required!!!

My thinking: This small lcd could show button controls/configurations. Building a modular unit with multiple emulators, so whole range of permutations - light guns, trackball, steering wheel etc.

Be nice on game boot for the relevant controls to come up. Also, they will vary game to game within each emultor...

So - any way to achieve this? Seen CPWiz talked about and also MameHooker??

GPU has two outputs.

Would GameEx support this? Recc'd plugins/software?

Cheers chaps!

I would recommend reviewing the Game Info Plugin by Adultery for displaying CP info for each system via GameExtender as a solid contender for your project.
