I am curious, can two emulators run side by side and communicate with each other? If they could that would be awesome (for an upcoming game), because then I wouldn’t have to do split screen or same screen multiplayer.

I don’t know if that’s possible, but local communication between two active simulators would be sick!

If you use the radio services then a second sim will pop up. I’m pretty sure @E-EnerG-Gamecentral used it for his mail service in a cboy.

Or, you can go to [https://arcade.makecode.com/--multi](https://arcade.makecode.com/--multi) and two MakeCode Arcade pages will pop up and both sims will be connected via jacdac but I’m pretty sure jacdac is still broken right now

I remembered seeing it from an OS and realized it’s from [WindOS](https://forum.makecode.com/t/windos-insider-build-program-applications-open/9482)  
I’ll try to figure it out

Thanks @UnsignedArduino , (sorry the comment saying I’ll try to figure it out was submitted before I saw your reply, but yours got approved first) I’m really excited to see if I can finish my splatoon “demake”!
