• Always top or Always bottom: every layout uses that screen.

Settings › Screens › Swap screens swaps what each screen shows.

While you play

The other screen shows Now Playing. Choose what it shows in Settings › Screens › Now Playing shows:

To save battery, set Settings › Screens › While playing to Dim after 30 seconds or Turn off after 30 seconds.

Moving a game to the other screen

Android can't run one emulator on both screens at once. If an emulator is already running on one screen and you start a game with it on the other, Clamshell closes the first one. Save in your game before you move it across.
