Hi Everyone!
I have managed to do something kinda cool....
I have a dual monitor rig designed to play throttle/twinstick games.
Games like After burner and Space harrier are 1 player but I have two monitors so I got thinking it would be cool if both players could play one player games simultaneously.
I tried to get two mame64's running simultaneously but I had a heck of time finding information. In the end I found a solution that works perfectly.
I made a .bat that loads an instance of Mame64 and an instance of Mame32 (the video is set to gdi so it doesn't conflict with d3d Mame64 runs by default)
This is great! Two players side by side playing Space Harrier!
Now my rocket launcher rig is strictly using the PCLauncher... because of the need to launch a .bat file. I'm happy only using the PC Launcher...my rig only has a handful of games...
The first issue was an error message that was resolved by adding a "Fade Title" EX: "Space Harrier (Rev A, 8751 315-5163A) [sharrier] - MAME 0.258 (LLP64) ahk_class MAME"
Now HyperSpin and RocketLauncher does not error out but unfortunately my Mame64 window is hidden behind HyperSpin I have tried for several hours to issue commands via the .bat file for it to regain focus but the best I have been able to do is maxmize the console window of mame64 and not the game window itself....
I've tapped out here hoping someone can give me some advice on this one.

Code:
cd C:\Hyperspin\RocketLauncher\roms\Mame\Mame64
start mame64 sharrier
cd C:\Hyperspin\RocketLauncher\roms\Mame\Mame32
start mame32 -video gdi sharrier
