Fullscreen but not on primary display

Hi,

I'd really love to know if it is in any way possible to use Project64 in fullscreen mode on my TV.

I run two graphics adapters. The primary (AGP) adapter is an nvidia Geforce FX 5500 and the secondary (PCI) adapter is an nvidia Geforce2 MX.
My primary monitor is connected to the primary adapter, my secondary monitor is connected to the PCI adapter and my TV set is connected to the TV-connector of my primary adapter. So there are three displays registered in my system.

When I start Project64 and I switch to fullscreen mode the emulator always uses my primary display.

Is there any possibility to get Project64 to use the third adapter as its fullscreen device? ..or if this isn't possible, does anybody know a way to get the nvidia driver to use a specific display device for DirectX/OpenGL fullscreen operations by default?

Pleeeease help, 'cos playing with this emulator is much better than playing with a real N64 (see speed of "Diddy Kong Racing" and the better graphics quality)

This was actually worked on during development but it wasnt "finished". All you should have to do is drag over PJ64 to the display you want and go into fullscreen then back to windowed to enable jabo's d3d8 video plugin to switch devices and allow for hardware acceleration.

If you plan on playing on the TV on fullscreen then your primary display becomes "useless". Any click on the main desktop would minimize PJ64 and cause the video plugin to throw a bunch of AVs at you.

The implementation isnt perfect but it *does* work quite nicely in windowed mode.

This was only tested on the primary adapter and it is unknown if a secondary adapter would interfere with it.

i have 2 video cards and 3 screens, and when i want pj64 to open on my third screen, all i do is drag the emulator over there, while it shows the list of your roms, then fullscreen it and close it. then open it back up and from then on it always opens on that monitor, fullscreen mode as well. i have a 5600 and a 5200, the third screen is on the 5200.
