You did it!! What can I do to repay you two for helping me!?!

I'm hopeless. lol. I followed your instructions, made the INI file using DOS like this said, change it from auto to the monitor I want to use. I even tried different numbers to make sure I'm not being dumb. No matter what I do, MAME opens in full screen and it always opens on the same monitor. Now look, I can live with it like this... but I just don't see why its being so difficult. If you've lost your patience with me I understand. Sorry. Thank you so much... I just wanted to play some classic games like the Ninja Turtles Arcade and other stuff on stream. I love that there are people that know so much more about this than me and everything but I just wish it had an option in the settings to choose a monitor.

I did it that way trust me. I re-did it now to be safe. I don't know why its being so weird. Then again, this is a noob forum so I dunno. I could be just over looking something. I really do appreciate the help

That's gotta be why.... its weird. I did find the file you were talking about, but it was named something else. When I tried to edit it? It did nothing. I'll try getting a different version. You have been a lot of help. Thanks!

I found it but when I tried that it wouldn't work. I'll keep playing with it. Thanks!

Thank you I thought it was something like that. Could the file be named something other than mame ini?

Hey sorry to bother anyone. I found this forum doing a search to try to resolve the issue myself. I got Mame to play a few classic games and... for the life of me, I can't figure out how to make it launch on the monitor I want it to launch in. It's stuck in full screen on one monitor. I want it to be in full screen on a DIFFERENT monitor and can't figure it out. I feel dumb cuz I usually can do stuff like this on my own but its being weird. Searching for the answer myself was no help.
