We can view both screens at the same time or just view one and change between them with a keyboard shortcut. Now, you might wonder “What about the touchscreen?”, well, the emulator allows for the two screens to be viewed differently depending on the current game On the subject of the two screens, the emulator allows several display modes adapted to each game.
