MCE Dual Display emulator problems

I am have a computer running Windows Media Center Edition. I am also usin a eVga 6600 gt. I have my monitor using dvi as a primary display, then svideo connected to my TV as a secondary display. I have the Media Center to start by default on my TV, and the GameEx plugin to start on the tv by default too. I have configured to only run ZSNES and Project64 emulators and nothing else.

I cannot figure out how to get the emulator to start on my tv at all, or even drag them over to that screen. Could someone please help me figure this out!!!

Does anyone know of a way to do this through the GameEx software, windows, or the NVidia drivers???? I have the latest drivers. Thank you very much

this is just a stab in the dark, but is the monitor you want them on set as the "primary" monitor? when programs open they usually default to appearing on the default monitor. i know ATI has a program called Hydravision which lets you further customize which monitor programs will open on. Does NVidia possibly have anything similar?

Again, shots in the dark... Best of luck!

I tried doing things in the nvidia config that seems to be for making programs start on certain screens, but after I configured it, it didn't work. The emulator would still start on the primary monitor. I cant seem to figure this out.

Such a question it seems is beyond this group, as its not related to GameEx but rather the emulators themselves.

May sound silly, but have you simply considered just swapping your displays over?e.g Primary becomes Secondary. Secondary becomes Primary?

If this is really so important to you, why not just look into buying or building a dedicated MCE PC? Its pretty much what everyone does who has the luxury. I can guarantee* you that will work :)
