A 1991 ad for Renovation's SEGA Genesis games.

At first I laughed—but they weren’t wrong. We do have 8-way TVs now. Just run eight emulators side by side and tile them across your screen.

Hell, today’s budget TVs are bigger than the one in the ad. Dan was ahead of his time.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Genesis/Mega Drive games ran at 320x240px - right?

So we could theoretically fit 12x9 (108) games at the same time on one 4K screen.

..now I kinda want to see that in action!

    Use vJoy + Universal Control Remapper (UCR), or reWASD, to mirror the controller input to all emulator instances.

    This means pressing A once sends “A” to all 8 games.
