I don't think there's a certified way of opening an application on the secondary monitor to be honest. RetroFE normally runs in windowed mode, so I believe you can move it using the windows key and the arrow keys. I'll have a closer look when I start implementing dual monitor support.

Hi Again  :)

I'm trying to run coinops on secondary monitor, in the setting I chose not to run in full screen, but I can't seem to find the window frame in order to drag it to the secondary monitor. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
It works with win+shift+right arrow, beacuse the main screen is 3840X2160 it is too big when it jumps to the second monitor. I'll try fixing it in the settings.

You could try TVGameLauncher. I was searching something similar to this the other day. Haven't tried it myself, but it might be worth a shot.
