Handler notes

Free MMX fan game: https://gamemaker19.github.io/MMXOnlineDesktop/
Split-screen setup guide
On first run quickly click ok on the prompt about saving in your documents folder. Create a private or public match in one instance and join in the others, press the escape key in the join match menu to join private rooms, alt-tab between the instances or click on them to use the keyboard in all. You can change your name and region per instance in the game settings-general settings.
To connect via LAN for smoother gameplay download the Relay Server files, write the version of the game you have inside overrideversion.txt (e.g. 19.12) then run the RelayServer.exe. Leave the server window open, launch multiple instances via Nucleus then create a LAN game in one instance and join in the others in the join match menu, press escape and write the IP 127.0.0.1 if you can not see the LAN game, alt-tab to an instance or click on it to do this.
This handler also supports dinput gamepads, xinput emulators are not needed. Xbox One/Series gamepads could have issues with background input/focus because of this. You can use the app reWASD to convert them to xbox 360 gamepads or follow this guide.
