Nixxe’s Dual monitor setup guide
This is my first guide and i hope that someone finds it usefull, so lets get going!!
Check your display settings right click desktop and select “Display settings”
For this guide we will be setting up our secondary screen to the right side.
If you have the second monitor on the left side (2 - 1) just drag it so it matches the picture below!
((The monitor dosent need to pysicaly be on the right side on your desk))
Now take note of the resolution on both screens by simply clicking on the screen number and scroll down untill you see (Display Resolution)
Now you should have both screens resolution for this tutorial il use my resolution.
⦁Main Screen 2560x1440
⦁Second Screen 1920x1080
Now we need to config Citra!
Hit the “windows key + r” and type %appdata% hit enter!
Navigate to Citra/config now open qt-config with a text editor. Scroll down to Layout section!
((should looks somthing like the picutre below! Ive painted a red box in what parameters you should be editing!))
Here you only need to edit the things that i have marked in red!!
So here we go!!
⦁ layout_option=0 change it to 1
⦁ custom_layout=false change it to true
⦁ Change all custom_xxx_xxx\default=true to false
((Should look like in the picture below!))
Now we enter our resolution using my resolutions as an example!!
⦁ Main Screen 2560x1440 = custom_top
⦁ Second Screen 1920x1080 = custom_bottom
custom_top = to the top screen of the 3ds!! aka main monitor!!
⦁ custom_top_left=0 -set this to 0
⦁ custom_top_top=0 - set this to 0
⦁ custom_top_right=2560 - Horizontal resolution of main monitor!
⦁ custom_top_bottom=1440 -Vertical resolution of secondary monitor!
custom_bottom = to the bottom screen of the 3ds!! aka second monitor!!
⦁ custom_bottom_left=2560 -Set it to the top monitor Horizontal resolution!
⦁ custom_bottom_top=0 - set this to 0
⦁ custom_bottom_right=4480 -This is the sum of both horizontal resolutions (2560+1920)
⦁ custom_bottom_bottom=1080 -set this to the vertical resolution of your second monitor!
Save changes and close the document!
Download the program “borderless gaming” from github or google “github Borderless-Gaming”
once it installed launch Borderless-Gaming then launch Citra!
once in citra go to View and make sure Singel Widow Mode is not on! Or this will not work!
Start a game of you liking, then go to the Borderless-Gaming window!

in this case its (2560+1920)
