How the heck did this guy split the screen in this video? Anybody know?

that is done on a per game basis. that is vs super mario... if you hit tab, go to video options, and select Coctail, it will display that way.

I'll be damned. I never tried that. So if you have dual monitors like a .vs setup would you run 2 vid cards or how do you do that?

It's single monitor. It's a workaround for games that don't have cocktail flipping.

in your mame.ini file, there is a setting for the number of monitors. just set it to 2 and it will display the same thing on both screens for most games..or if the original game had more than one monitor, it will span or do whatever it was supposed to. (for instance if it is set to 2, if you play xmen, it spans the screen across both)
