      Does anyone know how, in Retropie, to show both of the monitors in Punchout and Super Punchout? These are both favorite games of mine, but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to configure it to show both monitors. Right now it's just showing the information monitor.

      Thanks!

        @agrajag please fill out all of https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

        assuming you mean play choice 10 versions, but we need info on emulator, file name, etc, to advise.

          @dankcushions Sorry about that. Apparently not having a very "connected to reality" sort of day today.

          This is for the two games in MAME running the 2016 core. I was under the assumption that the function to enable both screens was the same for all versions of MAME as I had this working on my PC MAME setup years ago and it worked through several iterations of MAME along the way.

            @agrajag lr-mame2016 is a libretro core and does not work in the same way as MAME standalone.

            as said, need the file names, and all the other info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

              @dankcushions Which filenames specifically? The roms? If so, that's punchout.7z.

                Off the top of my head, I think it's in the MAME menu for the Punchout rom. There are different ways to display the dual monitor setup.
                Try connecting a keyboard and hitting Tab while ingame to bring up the menu. Or it may need to be done in the Retroarch quick menu options. Not sure offhand how lr-MAME2016 handles it.
                Pretty sure it's there.

                  @greengriffon That sounds right and does spark the memory of how I did it before. I wasn't even sure you could reach the MAME menu in RetroPie.

                  Great to know!

                    @greengriffon That was it!

                    Go into the game with a keyboard, hit TAB, select Video Options and then select Dual Over/Under and now it's playable.

                    Thanks again.

                          @roslof I actually changed that Punchout realistic arcade bezel to work with HSM's reflection shader. I'll be uploading it soon.
