Guest Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 I have two controllers hooked up to my PC and i was wondering if MTA:SA could offer the 2 player CoOp that the Ps2 does. Either on one computer or through two.
Mike Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 You could use it on LAN with two computers, but it will not work on a single computer.
orappa Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 You may be able to do this with Blue's modding capabilities, only people will have to show sufficient demand in order for someone to consider it worthwhile to make a mod for it.

[VCM]Mafia Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 If you have two monitors, the right vidio card, and a certian sofware. If your really interested in it, google for "duel monitors". Most vidio cards are not capabile of running two mintors, and even then I am not sure if you can focus to one MTA:SA monitor, and focus to a second MTA:SA on another monitor. Thats all I know...And besides that, I think that DirectX only supports one controller input. Which I think is cheap, it restrics the resources of game developers.
Gamefreek Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 You would probably have to have a really good pc even if 2 people could both play SA on the same PC.
Leviathan Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 On the console you allso play on just 1 screen... With splitscreen, so why need 2 monitors?
Harry Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 If you have two monitors, the right vidio card, and a certian sofware. If your really interested in it, google for "duel monitors". Most vidio cards are not capabile of running two mintors, and even then I am not sure if you can focus to one MTA:SA monitor, and focus to a second MTA:SA on another monitor.. Yes you can. Im running such a setup atm and my SA askes which of the screens has to be used for SA. Controlling 2 SA's will be another story, becasue they cant have focus both at the same time. With that, 2 games would require a huge amount of CPU and GFX power. So i guess it will never be possible this way.
Leviathan Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 indeed, I think it would be worth playing with 512mb video card (that's 2x256)
orappa Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 What about a dual CPU or dual core system with two SLI cards?
[VCM]Mafia Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Unless you modify the windows operating system But I fear that you would have to somehow modify the DLL's of the Operating System -- (probally the kernal) nearly imposible
Leviathan Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 ofcourse it is possible to use two screens, but only with low end programs
orappa Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Could you not have a standalone application that accepts input from both sources and forwards them to their relevant applications, or is that not possible?
[VCM]Mafia Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Hmn, that would mean I could play low leven (n stil fun!) games like Twisted Metal What exatly would you need to do it? I already have two monitors. I am assuming you need a special vidio card, correct?
Gamefreek Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Well i doubt there are any programs out there that would allow it to work. You still would need Windows to keep focus on both games at the same time which i doubt it possible.
Leviathan Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I managed it to play a game through lan with only 1 cd when 2 needed, I just loaded the whole thing through the lan connection, It wasn't veary fast like normal, but it was fun.
Replicators Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Why not just get 2 pc's? And use a mouse and keyboard,it's better control!
Evo Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 ..You would need 2 PC's, Nvidia already released that its imposible to work 2 game pads into San Andreas, functioning at the same time, If you have 2 game pads, plug them in, run San Andreas, and only one will work. As for Sa-2p 9. Can SA2P support two players on the same computer? No, SA2P is for playing over a LAN or the internet. It can't be used for playing on the same computer. But why would you want 2 player on 1 computer? [Pc=Personal Computer] Just get Sa-2p, or MTASA, or Sa-Mp[holy sh*t alot of acronyms] and hook up with your online girlfriend there, that way she wont have to come to your house and disapoint you when she wont let your character run into hers very fast. Holy shiznet Sa-2p sounds dope, with peds and story mode. I can't wait, that should hold me untill a San Andreas multiplayer with more people comes out.
