Basically the only thing that would need be done is split it up via software and have one processor responsible for this part of the screen and another responsible for the other side. I'm pretty sure that could be done using a VERY small amount of processing power, the amount needed for, like, SMB3's menu screen being seperate and not scrolling and the actual level being able to do all manner of things without it above. And besides, the system already needs to determine which processor is responsible for what, and in the case of dividing up the screens, which one sends it's finished image to what screen.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
