I used these lines to modify the screen size:

```auto
namespace userconfig {
    export const ARCADE_SCREEN_WIDTH = 760
    export const ARCADE_SCREEN_HEIGHT = 540
}

```

It works in singleplayer games, and for the host, but when someone joins it seems to just displays a white/black screen I know this isn’t really something you’re supposed to do, but is there any way to make this work? Thanks.

There’s an extension for splitscreen: [https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-split-screen](https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-split-screen)
