I was wondering if there was any way to customize Halo 1 PC game play using 2 monitors. Like have a separate view on the secondary monitor. At the moment I have 2 monitors and I was thinking of having the main view on the main monitor and then having a view of the right side of the player on the secondary monitor.

No because Halo has no support for dual head :(

And You cant do that in Xp anyway(if thats what your using) because Only the primary display will work Right


I have done it in Flight Sim. It kicks ass lol

so you are saying that no one has made any type of mod for Halo PC Custom Edition and that you can't even use dual screens in XP?

I think you would need to re-write the engine, and no one is going to do that. Wise man once said if you want it done do it yourself.

Wouldn't it be possible to have one monitor render the left part of the screen and the other, the right?

Slaying noobs since 2007.

No you can use 2 screens, but to actually have a side view of something not possible on 1 screen, no, afraid not.

well once I was able to get it to stretch to both screens but it doesnt work so well with only 2 screens because the cross hairs for the gun and you main focus would be split because of the distance between the monitors. Like with mine there is like a 2 inch gap in between them. and the other thing is that I cant remember how I did it

nothing like that has been done, but you could stretch it across 2 or 3 monitors

well I just figured it out. I have an ATI Radeon x1600 Pro with dual outputs and the software allows you to customize the way the monitors are setup. What I did was I disabled the secondary monitor (Right monitor) and then set it to "Stretch Main Horizontally onto monitor" instead of "Extend Main onto monitor" or "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor". So in return Windows thinks that I have a 2560 x 1024 monitor. but it would obviously work a lot better if you were to use a couple of lcd monitors because of the huge 2 inch gap between monitors.
