      ubuntu based retropie dual screen - marquee on 2nd screen

      Greetings.

      I've been looking around and can't seem to find much outside some rPi solutions.

      Is it possible to get a marquee to display on a secondary monitor on an Ubuntu 20.04 based retroipie install?

      I'm fine with a ton on configs and mucking about, but just want to know if it is even possible under an x86/64 Ubuntu retropie setup.

      This would all have to be done via a USB to HDMI adapter/converter (no secondary HDMI out on the PC - but I am not asking about the Linux side of this... just the retropie/ES side).

      But before I even go down the hardware route, I would love to know if this is possible to accomplish, or is it just a pipe-dream now?

      Any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks in advance!!!

        What's your use case ? When do you want to display the marquee - gameplay/game browsing ?
