Let me start by saying I've been using melonDS for a short while but so far I love it.

The no$gba addon "no$Zoomer" allowed for separate windows for both the top and bottom DS screens, so people with a multi-monitor setup could have one DS screen on one monitor and another on the other. Would it be too much to ask to get this feature in melonDS as well?

I 100% Agree, DS Emulation across 2 Screens is a feature I've been trying to find for months. If there was an option to give you a Like, Star, Upvote, Etc I would but instead I'll simply leave a reply in the hopes that other members of the community can start up this conversation again. Especially with how politely you worded the question.

Made an account just to respond to this post and say that if this were ever implemented that would be lovely! I use two monitors myself, so being to load the top screen on one and the bottom on another would be perfect.

No idea if this was a thing when this thread was originally started, but you CAN play DS games with top and bottom screens in different windows. I personally have a small touchscreen I use for the bottom screen which works quite well.

From your emulator (Don't need a rom running), go to "View > Open New window". This opens a second window of MelonDS. Now, for each window, go to "View > Screen Sizing" and set one as Top Screen Only and the other as Bottom Screen Only.

Best part is (AFAIK) It saves your screen configuration, so you don't have to reconfigure everything when you reopen.

Hope this was helpful!

AeriCan thank you so much <3

I just found out about this emulator and recently got a monitor arm that allows vertical stacking and thought how cool it would be to split the DS windows across the monitors like one gigantic NDS. I know this thread is old but your assistance was greatly appreciated even a year later.
