3-Monitor MAME Setup - Darius II & Ninja Warriors
3-Monitor MAME Setup - Darius II & Ninja Warriors
Just installed a 3rd Monitor on my workstation and while 2-display Darius was already fun, I wonder if there's any 3-monitor Shmup PCB emulated in MAME ?

Wow, that looks really cool. But are those games really worth it?

The 6-Player Konami X-Men in MAME is Dual-Screen "only". If anyone knows any other 3-screen titles, I'll gladly give them a try.
And no, those two games, are surely not worth a permament 3-screen setup. I might change back to 2 horizontal ones and put the 3rd one in Tate position for vertical MAME usage.

I tried this a while back with 2 screens and mame, worked well, but I had a 1.5cm "dead" space between both screens and it felt not quite right to me. You seem to have about 5cm of dead space between screens which looks like a bit much.
I would love to try it with actual arcade monitors or with monitors with their plastic shells removed.
That being said playing darius 2 on 2 screens takes a while to get used to, I can't imagine 3 screens

sweet rig, though my guess is to enjoy it you would have to sit back pretty far. the FOV is pretty wide.
When it comes to horis i'm covered since one of my displays is a 32 tv. sure it only 720p but its fine for mame. I'm lacking in the tate category...
Still its cool to see you can run the emus with 2 and 3 screen support, its something i've never tried.
