Is there any way to have or choose Dolphin to run on a secondary monitor? Id like to run it fullscreen on my secondary monitor and not the primary.

Thanks

Make the monitor you want the game to run on your "primary" monitor.

I hope you're not thinking about playing on 1 monitor and doing some other stuff in the other,
cause u'll have to change the task's focus to the monitor without the game, unless u wanna watch a movie while someone plays on the other monitor Tongue
Specs:
[color=#000080]
MSI GX623
Intel Core2Duo P8400 @2.3Ghz
4Gb. DDR2 Ram
ATi mobility Radeon HD4670 512mb
AOC HDTV 32" @HDMI
360 Pad Wireless x 2
Samsung G3 Station

Yea I got the same problem.
My Dad has a computer down stairs and we linked it up to the TV, the TV is secondary monitor and my da's is primary...

So when we watch a movie on my da's computer we use the secondary screen to watch it and my da can still use his computer.

But now im trying to get dolphin to work the same way, but the only way I can get it to work is by cloning and because the resolution of the TV is different from my dad's monitor, the computer is unusable while we play wii games on the computer Big Grin

I was wondering about this too. My display adapter (ATI HD4850) is listed twice but neither choice makes the renderer run on my nndary monitor.

I think some newer Matrox pci-e cards actually support true multi-desktop, as in not eyefinity. But they will be barely good enough to play any wii games at above 800x600.

Those have much more multi-display features than nvidia surround or ati eyefinity.

I have no Problem playing on a secondary screen. Just start the game in window mode then move it to the other screen, maximize it and then press ALT+ENTER.
Works for me and I have the second monitor (TV) connected to a second graphic card.

Do you really have 2 graphic cards or just 1 card with 2 outputs? Becayse the method you describe I tried it and it doesn't work for me, but I only have 1 graphics card - ATI HD4850.
