Looks great dude, have sent a PM asking about how you linked the screen with Mamehooker.

I found it a bit of a struggle to get working, but the instructions are here:

The Dragon King - Display Files: Displaying a Marquee on a Secondary Monitor

dragonking.arcadecontrols.com

There is an extra change you have to make in the mame.ini for mamehooker to work - not knowing this was what gave me most trouble! You have to set this in mame.ini if you're using above mame 176

Trying to use the MAME secondary monitor stuff just messed up the timings of the games with groovyMAME, so this was the only way I could get it to work.

Thanks this is great!
Will get a monitor and give it a go.

I've decorated my Mini Cute with a few Super Impulse models, for additional cuteness! I'm powering them all by USB from the MAME PC inside the cab, so they turn off and on with the cab. Had to use a timer relay to power-cycle them every 30 seconds so they don't go into sleep mode! You can see them flick off and on briefly in the video (I zoom in at the end of the video), but it works well.
