I followed the split screen thread on here a while ago,
and looked at the Between the eyes demo. I tried to look at
the source to find the split screen stuff but failed (the 
code is VERY difficult to follow!) Peter Passmore got a reply
from sony with a short routine to get split screen stuff which
I tried to implement at home, but I couldnt get it working (plus
just looking at the code was confusing) so, um, I've written my
own. I did announce it a week ago, but it never appeared on the
news server, so here it is again. The code in it is transparently
easy to use, makes more sense then the SCEE example, but may
have drawbacks Im not aware of when compared to the code they
gave, as it uses a different technique.

Feel free to use the code as much as you want :)
