Why would you do that? Many multi-screen games are quote playable on a single host display, especially if you have a widescreen monitor. For example the 6-player X-Men game with two screens side-by-side will end up letterboxed, but it's still fully playable. Same for the Darius games with three screens side-by-side - you'll end up with more black above/below but they play fine. Other machines may have options to run with just one screen, like the PlayChoice 10 games and the Taisen Hot Gimmick series.
