2nd Screen to display button configurations

[Randy Sharp]

I was wondering how difficult it would be to add the capability of having a second screen similar to the 7” or 3.5” raspi screens that would display the button configuration for a particular game. Any screen could be used really. (I’m thinking about having a small screen directly below the main monitor or built in to the controller in my arcade cabinet for this).

Launchbox could detect what game is being loaded and display the proper button configuration for that game. This could also be customizable in case someone wants to map a different button config. It could even be community driven similar to Steam Controller configurations.

Or, alternatively, if Launchbox has an API, I could use a raspi to monitor what game launchbox is loading and display an image or web page with the config.

By the way, I just want to say how much I am enjoying Launchbox, Big Box, and all of the work you are doing. Thanks.

I second this however I currently use the second monitor as a Marquee. I would like to be able to use a third monitor to show controller configuration along with game info.
