Hello all !

What I want to do is to play Diablo 3 while my GF is playing pikmin on the SAME computer.
I mean, I play with my PC screen at diablo and my TV is plugged to my computer so my girlfriend plays with dolphin on the TV.

The problem is that when I click on diablo 3, dolphin looses the focus and the controler does not respond anymore. Is I want dolphin to work, i'll have to click on the dolphin's screen.

I search a way to make dolphin work while I play diablo, even if the emulator doesn't have the main focus. Does someone know a way to do it ?

If you want to try this, you can plug your computer to a tv, launch dolphin on it and just for exemple open your web browser on your main screen to see that dolphin won't respond anymore to your controler (an xbox 360 one in my case).

You can find it at the bottom-right of the GCPad Configuration window.
