When you see handhelds the last thing you think is multiplayer. You would need to buy an entire new console! But what if there was a device (USB or bluetooth) that had the game buttons of the Pandora plus another screen and could just run off of the Pandora. Think of it! You could play multiplayer on the Pandora on the go without the need of buying another console. So tell me, is this a good idea or am I totally crazy?
 
Any bluetooth or USB joystick should work.

I think you misunderstand me. The idea is that it will be a controller with a screen attached so you can have multiplayer without splitting an already small screen on the go.

maybe a Wii U screen/controller thingy can be hacked to work with the pandora in the future (-;

but seriously a tv out cable and a second controller should be sufficient for most needs

But a TV is not portable. I was thinking maybe something like this:

The problem would be to output anything to the screen. It is highly unlikely that you would get any form of accelerated video. Might kinda work with some simple games with a TV-out hack, but that would limit it to one external controller. Only orther way I can see, that doesn't involve running a copy of the game on the controller itself, would be to render to a video and stream that. But that's pretty much a no-go considering the for the task weak CPU that the pandora has.
