How do you open 2 FFXi on 1 pc?
By cervelo84 2014-09-03 07:18:46
Sothe easiest way to multi box is to do it from 1 pc I hear. My question is this.
What program allows you to do so? Currently I am able to open only 1 POL viewer.
Idk if this is illegal or w/e, I'm just tired of using the xbox and pc.. Mega headache and super slow reactions.
Thanks for your help.

Use windower. Allows multiple FFXI instances to be open at once.

You'll never want to go back.

I think you can w/o windower because you can launch official and test clients at the same time.

Nope, and there is no test server anymore anyway.

Thanks for your help. It's a matter of personal preference, I in fact don't like using alt+tab, and find it very inefficient and like to see what's going on on both screens at once.
I also always play with a controller, and with windower only the active window has controller input grabbed.
I use vmware to isolate my instances in their own virtual machines, which you can do with or without windower if your machine is beefy enough to do so.

1 PC 5 Monitors.
Main toon in middle, alt in far right, Map in far left.
FAQ in top (top right) Shouts / GS on Top Left (So I never miss the action!)

I have 1 pc, 3 monitors, 3 accounts, each in their own virtualized instance, 3 controllers.
If I had a different desk, I'd probably have a 4th monitor for maps (I'd need another video card for this) and a keyboard for each, as I don't like switching between.
But I'm weird, sometimes I'll sit the laptop on the desk too, for mission/quest/map info.

That's not weird at all, I've been toying with the idea to use a tablet for this...

for which part? and my other inhibitor at the moment is reasonably money, for starters I'd need a new computer and video card on top of another monitor (as I'm almost certain my current board only has one pci-e slot).
Even if it has a second one, the case wouldn't handle another nvidia 660 :D

maps w.e etc but linking it etc seemed like a pain, perhapsjust quest stuff.

Honestly if I wanted to go full on super serious with playing, I'd have an archived copy of all maps, with NM's and coffers laid out, as I hate to keep going between different maps for different ***.
Or just print them all out and cover a wall with them, would be nice for me with my dyslexia on remembering ***like which exists of the temple of ugly pie go where, etc, and which entrances/exists of certain caves, but it'd have been cooler to do years ago and not so much now.

You'll memorize all maps and coffer spawns within the first two times of af hunting for 1 char or 1 job or one friend.
Should print off all crafting recipes instead. Even with all crafts lvled in some form I only got a small percent memorized.
You mean people don't already do this? orz....
