      Hello,  looking for a little help trying to launch a mame game to screen #2.

      I can successfully launch from the command line using the following:

      mame64 galaga.zip -screen \\.\DISPLAY2

       

      Within PUP, my successful launch script to DISPLAY1 looks like the following:

      START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” “Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator” 2 2 10

      d:

      cd “d:\Mame0209b”

      START “” “[diremu]\mame64.exe” “[GAMEFULLNAME]”

       

      I’ve tried adding the display callout (-screen \\.\DISPLAY2) to a custom1 variable, and then used the following with no success:

      START “” “[diremu]\mame64.exe” “[GAMEFULLNAME]” “[CUSTOM1]

       

      any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

          Thanks for the reply!  Finally success.  Looking at that batch file was very helpful to pinpoint where it could be failing.

          I needed to add one space before [CUSTOM1], in between the quote and bracket.

          This was my final launch script:

          START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” “Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator” 2 2 10

          d:

          cd “d:\Mame0209b”

          START “” “[diremu]\mame64.exe” “[GAMEFULLNAME]”” [CUSTOM1]”

           

          My CUSTOM1 variable is        -screen \\.\DISPLAY2
