Just drag the Launchbox window there, like you would with any other app.

Huh I do not want to drag the window every time I open a game I want to setup bb and lb to open on a different monitor as it’s displaying on the wrong monitor I would like it to opening big box and launchbox and play games on the top monitor.

You didnt specify Bigbox, that has a option in its settings for the display. Your image however is a game, not Launchbox or Bigbox, so you will need to tell your emulators which display to use.

Thanks, how do I do that for Mame and flycast?

I figured out MAME would anyone know how to change monitors in flycast or have a custom script ?

i combined your threads. Please do not start new threads for the same questions. 

Try opening Flycast on the screen you want it to play on then closing. In some situations if an emulator does not have an option to set the screen it will remember the last screen it started on.

Doesn’t seem to work with flycast is there anything else to try ?

There are some handy 3rd party tools like Display Fusion that are useful for multi monitor set ups and I believe include actions for moving specific windows to selected monitors.
