Dual Instances?

[tommykent1210]

Hi there,

First off, great emulator. Games look beautiful!

So now for my question, how can you run multiple instances of dolphin on the same machine? Now, i can ACTUALLY launch two, and they can sit in game at 60FPS, but because clicking on one window takes the focus from the other, it isn't actually possible to control both at once :/

Any ideas?

I don't think that this is possible. I tried that too (some months ago)

hmm, I was hoping to use my dual monitor setup using Netplay to have 2 full screen races going on

in your controller config, check background input

Yay! Next question: how can I get netplay to work with mariokart?

If it's the GC version, you could try BBA which might be better. (I haven't tried any)

Wii version unfortunately

The wiimotes desync mostly in netplay, but you can use the GC-controller input for Mario Kart Wii.

Btw, if you intended for them to play with each other (same machine), you would just see 2 copies of the split screen render. The Nintendo Wifi play isn't supported yet.

So wifi isn't available for dolphin yet? Anyone know of any other way to do it?

Also, to note: I'm not actually looking to connect to Nintendo WFC here I was hoping to just play locally, with one instance hosting, and the other connecting Surely, if the instances are laoded from separate folders, and load separate controllers, they will act as two separate instances?

Why don't you just configure your dual screen to display the same image on both screens?
