+==== Ayn Thor Dual Screen emulators ===
+Emulators with only a single screen (most systems actually) will leverage the bottom screen to run the Batocera Control Center (''hotkey''+''east''), keeping the upper screen for emulation.
+But some systems have dual screen capacity, and here is how to enable them in Batocera 43:
+===Nintendo DS===
+In the ''ADVANCED SYSTEM OPTIONS'' you must select
+  - ''MELONDS'' as the emulator (the standalone one, not libretro-melonds)
+  - set ''DUAL SCREEN'' to ''ON''
+===Nintendo 3DS===
+Only Azahar is supported for the moment. In the ''ADVANCED SYSTEM OPTIONS'' you must select
+  - set ''SCREEN LAYOUT'' to ''SEPARATE WINDOWS''
