Your method is simpler than the one SCEE posted, although I can't get it
to work. If I put in the PutDrawEnv() the game flickers, well what it
actually
does is a bit weird, the OT is drawn, then there is a black frame..
although
I haven't called GsSwapDispBuff(), if I take the PutDrawEnv() out, then
everything
works fine (non-split screen of course!).

I ran your split demo, and that works fine, and I couldn't 'break' it to
see
what I'm doing wrong, becuase as far as I can see my main drawing loop
is the
same as yours, except that you used the currentBuffer index to determine
with
set of clipping to use, I tried this but it changed nothing.

Have you had any trouble with this at all, or did it work first time?

Majik.
