Hi,

Can an XBOX360 be made to drive two screens?

I was wondering cos it would be nice to have a screen per player in multi-player games...

Thanks

i dont think so....

surely you would need 2 x boxes?

Thanks for the info - shame, it would make my life a lot easier!

Yeah, you would need 2 xbox's and 2 copies of the game.

I think originally the PS3 was meant to do this before they revised the hardware, thats the only time i've heard of a console manufacturer considering it. With HD gaming now though splitscreen gaming is a lot better.

I'd like the option to run on multiple screens shame they both didn't include this

Would be nice - but I accept that split screen on a nice sized HD display is a close second

Maybe able to do something like this with an external device of some sort? Kinda like a videowall type affair but you would split at a certain point (half way across or down the screen for the makority of head to head racers etc) and fill the destination screen?

I would have said no, until I saw an option within FM2 that was something to do with multiple screens, though Not sure how it would work..

Have a look here
Expensive way of doing it though :eek:

Hmmm, so it could be do-able....

Gonna search about and report back!

Thanks Guys!

No it isnt do-able mate

For the FM2 multiple screen set up you need a 360 for each screen

So how do the Xbox's link to each other and work 'as' one?

I dont know, but I just know you need a 360 for each screen

Currently running it myself, and it is impossible to do with 1 360
