The guys at Ground Kontrol in Portland OR, were able to get an X-men 6-player board working on one widescreen display (with a seamless image), in their cabinet restoration.
http://groundkontrol.com/category/6-days-of-x-men/ (before anyone laments about cutting the cabinet in half, don't worry, they rebuilt the back piece, rather than destroying the original)
I've played it and it's actually pretty glorious!
From what I've read on KLOV, they got Clay Cowgill to make a one-off piece of hardware to "stitch" the video signals together.
There are a few people interested in this, and I bet if you were to start an interest thread and petition it to Clay, he might be willing to create a small run.
Heck, I'd even buy an X-men 6-player board myself if that happens and get in on it as well!

The display stuff is basically one-off hardware that takes the slow scanning
standard resolution video (each field of the video frame gets split out to
two displays using a deinterlacer) and stacks it side by side into a single
'vga' speed image (twice as fast) suitable for a flat panel. One of these
days I plan on getting the design boiled down to something manufacturable
and get some circuit boards made and sell a conversion kit, but I haven't
had time to do it yet.
