mednafen-ps3 - issue #51

local 2 player for gameboy/gba


Posted on Feb 7, 2011 by Grumpy Hippo

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be feasable/realistic (or interesting) to implement 2 player support on one screen (there would be 2 emulators running side by side, each controlled by a different controller and hopefully a friend to hold it as well...)

I'm pretty sure the GBA would be very problematic since it just started to run at full speed with one instance, but the original gameboy/gb color might be possible...

Thanks!

Focusing on Gameboy mono and color. I have tetris running two player on my local SDL build. Needs more testing and some clean up before I push it. Though it doesn't fit in the mednafen netplay model, the timing and structure is weak enough it may be able to work over the network with some effort.

I haven't looked into the GBA link model but you can pretty much guarantee it's much more complicated than the GBC. But vbam has some code in place to handle it, I just don't know how complete it is.

Nice, I would have though that was strange if nobody though of that before!
