zabrin Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Please be gentle....I am new to Gameex but already a huge fan!!!I want thinking about adding a second monitor. I was wondering if there is a way to display text files, pdf files and the like of the game playing? Certain games have maps or maybe even a quick look at the manual. So on monitor 1 you would have gameex launching the game and on the second monitor be able to bring up a manual. Thanks...Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 There could be eventually... I was working on something that shows txt files, pdfs, or static images in Game Info plugin but it's not ready yet, I got distracted with something else and I'm working on that instead.I was then thinking of splitting off and making a plugin specifically for game faqs and manuals in a 2nd monitor, which is probably just going to be a code port after the Game Info function is completed.So basically that's a soft no.

Tom Speirs Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi, just to elaborate on our current solutions we do have Adulterys excellent Game Info plugin as well as the in built GameExtender. It does not display manuals but it does display other stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabrin Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Thanks for the responses!!!I will stay tuned for your work Adultery!!!! I don't think GameExtender will work for me. I will be incorporating some classic MS-Dos games into my cab. Early Might and Magic games, SSI goldbox games and the like. My Might and Magic maps have seen better days so I don't really like bringing those puppies out anymore. Good thing GOG.com has them in digital format for me!
