I found mame.ini and CarneyPreist had said to use that. Just need a bit more direction on how to specify my BG monitor here. not seeing where you specify the mame monitor in this file.

It's been a few years. At one point, I had set up a multi-monitor mame system with vertical games playing on a portrait oriented monitor and horizontal games playing on my old multi-sync CRT.

I believe I had set up a separate ini for vertical games. That is, any games MAME classified as vertical in the source code would be configured using vertical.ini instead of the default mame.ini.

You would define which screen to display on within the "PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS" section. You would need to know how Windows identifies your backglass screen. A quick way is too see what monitor is defined for your backbox in Future Pinball Preferences -> Video / Rendering Options.

For me it is \\.\DISPLAY1

\\.\DISPLAY1 would be the entry for screen instead of auto

I think, anyway. Like I said, it's been a while. Got my answers on Google like everybody else.
