Re: How to use mouse on dual monitor while MAME is running in fullscreen?

Didn't we have this discussion already? Maybe it was someone else.

Disable mouse input for MAME and run MAME in a window.

You can't do stuff in full screen mode on one monitor while doing something that requires mouse and keyboard on a second monitor. Anything that goes "full screen" takes exclusive control over mouse and keyboard unless there is a way to explicitly tell it not to. Even then, as soon as you click on anything on the second monitor, your full screen software will lose focus. IIRC losing focus makes MAME enter pause mode but I think you can change this behavior in mame.ini.

The only way this will "work" is with software that can run in "full-screen borderless window mode", like VLC for example.
