      Hi, I got an Raspberry Pi 4b 4gb with Retropie installed (through pinn(noobs) 2 Days ago)
      PSU is the Official one with 5V 3A.

      Ive just mounted an seconday Monitor besides my tv, and connected it to the second HDMI port of My Raspberry Pi.

      Im hoping to get Multimoitor support for DS work, so that the TV can be the Top Display and the secondary Monitor can be the Bottom Display.

      Nows just the Problem: Im lost and I dont know where I would start, I have
      lr-desmume
      lr-desmume-2015
      drastic

      all installed. with which of these will have the highest changes of getting this to work?
      and How would I takle this?

        Okay, it Seemes like Retroarch doesnt support Multimonitor,
        meaning that desmume seemes to not be the way to go.

          Well, Drastic seemes like the way to go, after setting it into horizontal mode its nearly works, problem is with the TV beeing 16:9 and the side monitor 4:3.
          I tryed setting the resolution for the TV also to 3:4 in launch menu, but that doesnt seeme to have any effect on Drastic. Anybody an Idea of how to do that?

            @Snoweuph hii, sorry to bother, i was wondering if you got any updates on the project, i was wondering how to use multimonitors on the raspberry pi with the ds emulator, what did you had to configure to do that?

              @maxmoon I don't exactly know anymore, because I no longer use the pi as a home center.

              But I had to use Drastic, because it's the only available one that supports multiple monitors.

              It then had some option in its menus, but I don't know the exact one anymore.

              I only remember that you had to boot a game with it and then press some shortcut to get into the menu of it.
