Playing while doing something else

Post by reasonz »

Hi,

Here is the situation. I have 2 computer screen. I want to let my girl play Zelda on zsnes on my second screen while i still can do my own things like playing another video game on my main screen.

The issue is that as soon as I alt-tab zsnes, the game sound cut and more importantly the gamepad stop controlling the game. The game don't seem paused since I see movement on it but she cant use the controller anymore to play and we have no sound :(

In the config the PauseFocusChange is set to 0 so theoretically the game still running.

Any way to make it work the way i'd like it to work?

ty!

I'm pretty sure Windows only allows you to have one program in focus at a time...
