Loading 2 Nintendo Vs. Games at Once?
« on: July 15, 2019, 02:35:52 pm »
I'm slowly working on a Nintendo Vs. Dual System thing. The original systems could load two games at once (one on each side).

I know MAME can load both sides if it's the same game (for example supporting all 4 players in Vs. Tennis) even spreading out over two monitors. But what about two different games? Example: In the real Nintendo dual cabs you might have Vs. Goonies on one side and Vs. Super Mario Bros. on the other side.

Can MAME emulate this?

Ask yo1dog if he'll share his dual-mame rewrite (and maybe update it for modern MAME.)

(you might have horsepower and multi-screen issues on an SBC though)
