Running MAME on two displays without losing focus?
02/08/14 05:24 AM


Hey guys,

I am running MAME using two displays. Upon launching the emulator, the emulator goes into full screen mode on Display #2, while my main Windows desktop and apps remain on Display #1. This is how I deliberately have it set up and everything works great.

However, I would like to click away from the main MAME screen(Display #2) without having it lose focus, and keeping the mouse enabled so I can click on other things. Often times I'll be playing a game but suddenly get an email or something. In order to click away and read the email, with the way it works now, I'm required to Alt-Tab out of the MAME screen to make it minimize.

I want to simply click away from MAME, while keeping it running and showing on Display #2, while being able to click on Display #1 to access other programs. Is there a way to accomplish this, without having to run MAME in a window?
