In this video, I created an OBS layout and used the full screen projector to display it all to players. This adds too much latency for my taste, so these days I use a piece of software I wrote myself that uses the Windows API to remove window decorations, resize, and reposition each instance automatically, in tandem with Buttery Taskbar 2 to hide the Windows taskbar completely. This solution is also way more flexible, supporting lots of games and making it easy to optimize the layout for an arbitrary number of windows. OBS requires setting up each arrangement by hand.

You can lay them out however you please. If you have multiple monitors, there’s nothing stopping you from splitting them up that way too. Each instance gets its own window, ultimately. Since I’m using my own personal online server, even LAN across multiple machines is possible.
@@Mugen_YG So I’m using a fan-made recreation of Nintendo’s official online servers to do this. I run it in a VM on the same machine as the rest of these copies of the game, but you could technically run it wherever you want. LAN tunneling would work, as would port forwarding it onto the public Internet. Since it’s all on one machine though, I’ve never needed it to go further than my own LAN. If you want to try it yourself, I supply a prebuilt VM for download here: github.com/SMarioMan/wii-online-server
@@MarioManTV 🙏🏾 thanks a lot for the insight, whenever I get the time I'll test it out. A Mario kart LAN party with the bros has always been a dream of mine.

What software did you use to distribuite the screens and make them borderless?

Amazing
Is it possible to completely sperate one instance by running that version of dolphin on a new desktop connected to another monitor?

@@MarioManTV ah, gotcha. That said I presume virtual LAN linking is a no go then? How much does it cost to run your own server?

3 Toads and 2 Funky Kongs?
How did you set this up?
