Hi Guys

 

Do you know if its possible to run MFME on 2 screens? ie have the reels on 1 monitor and have to playfield / backglass ( is it called where the action happens ) on a 2nd monitor ? so it looks like a reel machine...reason for asking is that im considering alter my set up to look like a conventional machine and it would be awesome if this could be done.

 

Many thanks.

You could always consider making a cabinet if you have a long term love for this...

...here is a game running with the monitor in a portrait position so no dual monitors required.

oh reg....this is exactly what im after...what size screen r u using at what resolutions etc.... looks wicked :-)

Thank you.

So I am writing this from an iPad and cant remember the exact screen resolution - but - it is using Full Screen mode with MFME with the monitor in portrait mode.  The moniter is a Samsung C27F390 27-Inch Curved LED Monitor - Black Gloss.

 

More details elserwhere on this site ( http://www.fruit-emu...mfme-cab/page-4), plus others have also down builds with cabinets that might inspire you.

If you are worried about skills don't be - I have the building ability of somebody that would be better off being on Bake-Off and two left hands to boot.  Just take your time...
