Mame launch parameters

[hoop22]

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
