Playing multiple roms similatenously?

[whazzzzzup17]

Whats the best way to play multiple roms on the same monitor? I haven't figured out how to do this other than a time consuming way of not using LaunchBox and re-opening multiple emulators and changing all the settings.

My BigBox is setup to my TV, and I would like to run up to 4 roms, and align them on my tv, without having to pull out my mouse and adjust the settings and what not.

The reason for this, is sometimes my family wants to play different games and since my tv is large enough, I haven't found a way to play multiple games via BigBox with different controllers.

Hi @whazzzzzup17, I don't believe that's ever been requested before, and there's probably no easy way to do it currently outside of just doing it manually.

I helped someone getting two emulators playing Pokémon at the same time - I guess the same principle applies, but it's not straight forward. You would have to create a script for each selection of roms that you want to play at a given time, in advance. Meaning, that if you want to change roms every time you play, you would have to alter the scripts. Also, the emulators need to support background input from the controllers, for it to work. Meaning, the window doesn't have to be active, for it to receive input. Honestly, I think it's actually more easy to just do it manually, as Jason said.
