Description

With the screen command you can redirect MAME's display to a specific monitor. Obviously you need multiple monitors to support this. It's used in conjunction with the -numscreens option. For example a game like Darius uses 3 monitors in the arcade. If you have 3 monitors, with this command you can direct each screen to the relevant monitor and re-create the original arcade feel.

Alternative Command

-screen0
-screen1
-screen2
-screen3

Example

mame <gamename> -screen \\.\Displayn (n is the number of screen you want to use)

Command Format

<gamename> -numscreens 2 -screen2 \\.\Display2. This option will direct the second screen of a game to your second monitor. You need to have the -numscreens option enabled first to let MAME know how many screens to create. If you specify auto, MAME will try to sort it out itself. -screen will apply to all screens whilst -screen0,1,2,3 only applies to the specific screen.

MAME's Default Setting
