GBA 2 Player Core Now Has Dual Monitor Support
Some more amazing work from Robert, hot on the heels of his 2 player GBA split screen core, his latest update now allows for dual screen output using the VGA and HDMI outputs!

Re: GBA 2 Player Core Now Has Dual Monitor Support
From the Analog IO board? I would imagine anything the board normally supports.
Personally I have mine connected to PVM and BVM monitors. Though I guess I could output it to a retrotink or ossc if I wanted it to be on a flat panel.

Hope you'll be able to load 2 different games that are capable. Also feature to load a gamesave for each of the games would be cool for the times when your playing the same version game and want to use 2 different saves..
For Pokemon for example.
But good core.Good idea. Pretty cool you put 2 GBA cores at once. I remember the core was a challenge at first to make.
Now 4 player for 4 swords
.
It's pretty cool as it is now. At least i can get some multiplayer done with friends.

Re: GBA 2 Player Core Now Has Dual Monitor Support
MiSter doesn't support 2 save files to be open at the same time, so having to different games loaded, would have only the second save available.
Overall it will only lead to confusion, so i will not offer that, even if loading two different ROMs would be easy.

Re: GBA 2 Player Core Now Has Dual Monitor Support
Any chance two MiSTers could be connected via snac or something that would allow for four-player support? No idea if the hardware or core could support that.
Even if that can't be added, I still love this new version of the GBA core. Thanks!

Re: GBA 2 Player Core Now Has Dual Monitor Support
Core needs to be slightly extended to support 3+4 players.
But as i don't have any hardware for that (second MiSter, Adapter, cables, gamepads) and very little motivation i have to pass for the moment, sorry.

This. I get that MiSTers are expensive, but this would be so great for stuff like four swords.
