      Hi everyone,

      I'm midway through my first cabinet build and I'm using a CRT TV.
      Playing games on it is filling me with nostalgic joy - wonderful! But the menu system in such low-res is not so satisfying.
      I'm using photoshop to design my own ES theme, but after shrinking my artwork down to the necessary tiny .PNG files, the graphics look pretty bland. Maybe there's a better way, I don't know.

      Anyway, it got me thinking..
      Has anyone ever built a dual-screen cabinet - ES menu system on a small hi-res LCD, while the main screen is CRT for the gaming? Is it even possible?

      For me it would be the best of both worlds
