[RESOLVED] GameEx v. 14 - Games played via integrated MAME support load on secondary monitor instead of primary - General

I am not sure what is going on and, likely, it is not a GameEx issue. I recently acquired a 40" Samsung LED TV and I am using it as my primary gaming display. I have tested integrated Steam support and others and the games load fine on the TV, however, when I launch any MAME games via the integrated settings, the games load on the smaller, secondary monitor.

Below are my gameex.ini (attached - file too big for use in spoilers)

I almost feel silly asking, but what happens when you use runitgame.bat? Only reason I ask is I'm wondering whether it's a MAME setting that's currently throwing a wrench.

To be honest, I have seldom needed to run it but here are the results, not much to go by.

I think it is either a Windows 8.1 or nVidia issue. I had initially switched how the monitors appeared in the Setting up multiple displays area of the nVidia Control Panel when I first encountered the issue. FInally, I just disabled the second monitor, loaded GameEx and the game on the only monitor (TV) enabled. I then reenabled the second monitor and no matter where it appears in the layout relative to the primary, the game now loads on the primary as I want. Marking this as resolved.
