I Just Registered GameEX :) / Idea For Sweet Arcade Cabinet Prop

[Tempest]

Well if you use GameEx's GameExtender feature you can have artwork rotating on you secondary display.

Thank you for responding HK. If I were to do as the guy did and have the tv halfway out of the cabinet, and if I used a 27" 4:3 tv, then the width of the display would be about 21", and the height would be about 16".

I would make the marquee 8" x 21", leaving the top half (8" x 21") I'm thinking that for this to look decent for art work, the top half should be split again into two pieces 8" x 10.5" effectively, two smaller 4:3 displays. I guess my questions are:

1. Can I display the CPWizard in one of the smaller displays?
   
2. I guess from what you said, I could have gameextender rotate various artwork on the second smaller display...Correct?
   

Does this all make sense, and do you think it will look nice?

It sounds like I need to update to the latest Gameex, check out the integrated CPWizard, and start fooling around with GameExtender.

At this time, I don't have a video card with two outputs, but I see I have a VGA out on my laptop. Will this display a second picture, or just the same one twice? You don't have to answer that one, I'll plug in a monitor and see...

From the look of the config it looks like you can have CPWiz on another monitor, which could be interesting if you can pause and show moves-controls-history then resume the game on the main monitor.

I was thinking of putting a small lcd in my CP for that, but game extender didnt really do what I wanted it to do. If it works with CPWiz it is getting a lot closer. I still really want to be able to pause and manipulate my jukebox on the second screen.
