Fourth monitor extends my desktop when I'm not playing the game. I turn it off during gameplay.

I did it by way of SoftTH

SoftTH is a video software. It changes the way things are rendered a little. the thing with the red lights to the left of my monitor is how I control the lights in my room - its a power strip with individual switches.

I dont know how it works with SFC, because I need to be able run a wierd resolution. with SS I have to go into the INI and change the video settings, and I don't know how to change it manually in SFC.

I have never been able to bring myself to use a multi-monitor setup without matched monitors for more than a few minutes, it is just too jarring. I think I might have missed the boat on the optimum time to buy multiple matched CRTs. LCDs are not for me, I still like CRTs much better.

Looks like a fun setup you have there!  :)

The only thing a person would be missing then would be the under monitor scrolly blinky.. ;)

For SFC 1, use the configuration utility that is in the Interplay folder in the start menu...

for EAW and OP, use MagnumMan's EZ INI to quickly adjust game resolution..

for SFC 3, you can adjust resolution in game, or use the config utility in the Activision folder in the start menu.

Wouldn't the 4th monitor be good for REAR view?

(nice setup though)...
