Just tried that now but it only switches Duplicate, extend and Monitor or projector only. The way i do it switches the actual main or primary. So i stay in the extended mode with both visuals on but just switch between which one is main

I downloaded Display Fusion years ago so I found out i could do that the other day, dont remember if I had to pay for the program or not, dont think so, but now all i have to do is Press the win key and < to make display 1 my main or press the win key and > to make display 2 my primary. works very well amd I dont have to go into resolutions and do it manually anymore. If you find the program you will figure it out, there is also one called Ultramon which will probably do it as well

yeah sfter trying countless other things I decided to put make 2 hot key profiles so one key makes Display1 primary and the other key makes Display2 primary so I can just switch back and forth easily. Seems to be the only way....

Thanks anyways....

PS. has mGalaxy given that Beta Update to anyone ?? I haven't heard from him yet and I would love to try it ...
dashingw,
How did you achieve to create the profiles that you're talking about? Would you please explain here how you did it?
Thanks

Yep, it was what I wanted to say, better to see on windows side.
If the emul don't have option to use that, even with script or command line, it will be not possible.

Can't you set your 'external' monitor as 'Primary' in windows screen control panel?
That way all applications would open on your external monitor!

How do i force Running emulators on second screen

With Mame it's easy, Just go in the default options and choose second screen.

But what if the emulator I'm choosing to play doesnt have that option right in it ?? Is there a script I can put say under the ESPXE in system.xml that will always open the emulator on my TV instead of my monitor ??

This is what is there now.....

<System Type="Console">
    <Name>Sony PS1</Name>
    <AppPath>D:\Games\PS1 - ePSXe\ePSXe.exe</AppPath>
    <RomPath>D:\Games\PS1 - ePSXe\isos</RomPath>
    <SnapPath>D:\Games\PS1 - ePSXe\snap</SnapPath>
    <VidPath />
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="ePSXe" value="-nogui -loadbin &quot;%path\%file%ext&quot;" />
      <Cmd id="1" name="PCSX-Reloaded" value="-nogui -cdfile &quot;%path\%file%ext&quot;" />
    </Emu>
    <Extensions>.bin,.cue,.img,.iso</Extensions>
    <Active>True</Active>
    <Script>True</Script>
    <Database>False</Database>
  </System>
