WinUAE on multiple monitors

BippyM · 15 April 2013, 12:19

Guys,

I have setup my spare 19inch LCD tv up as a second monitor via HDMI connection. What I would like to know is if WinUAE can function on the second monitor, but still allow me to use my main monitor (mouse etc??)

So basically I connect 2 mice (if possible) and use one for winuae, and create a virtual Amiga setup on the second monitor/tv, leaving the other mouse to windows and allowing emulation to continue whilst the pc is used??

You have to use WinUAE's "full window" mode. Fullscreen mode and Windows desktop can't have focus at the same time. (Windows restriction)

Enable also magic mouse to allow mostly seamless Workbench <> Windows desktop mouse movement.

Is it possible to use a second mouse/joystick etc.

My daughter plays on winuae, and I want to use the pc etc. I'd like it to function separately, kind like having 2 machines!

Joystick should work fine. WinUAE can be configured to only accept mouse input from single mouse but unfortunately all connected mice will still move Windows mouse cursor.

So basically I can still use winuae when it's not in focus. Cool will try later
