running on 2 screens?

[simbamame]

hi guys,

 

Ihave 2 monitor on my cab is it possble to have gamex running the game on bottom monitor and have screen shot,marquee controls etc.... on the top monitor would look cool to have different marquee for each game a bit like a back glass on the pinball machines?

 

i tried setting gameex to use 2nd monitor but that just puts the main prog there.

 

THANKS In advance.

stigzler has a few programs to do that. I'm currently using Marquee Masher on my setup. Shown here. It's not the best video, and it's not setup how I'd like it, but you get the idea.

Yeah - MarqueeMasher's probably the easiest if you're just looking to display a single image on your second (or third) display.  If you're wanting video/flash/gifs/various dynamic content or dynamically generated game controls then CPWizBiz may help. Hold off on the latter though - uploading fully re-coded version soon once have done some tutorial setup videos.

I split and merged @simbamame 's responses and errors, etc into the Marquee Masher thread.
