Description With the -screen command you can redirect MAME's display to a specific monitor. It can be used with multiple monitors and/or multiple windows. For example a game like Darius used three monitors in the arcades. If you have three monitors, with this command you can direct each screen to the relevant monitor and re-create the original arcade cabinet screen setup. To get the names of your displays then you can use mame64.exe -v and the first lines which are labelled "Video" will give you your display names (Nomally \\.\DISPLAYn where n is the display number). Using just -screen without a following number will affect all the generated screens.
