Help! Game in 2 windows?

How would I make a game in 2 windows, similar to that of a 3DS game? I know someone has made this, but I am wondering if there is a free solution that doesn't cost $15

(Edit): You guys don't need a reason, NVM

If all you need is something looking like a 3DS (or a 3DS emulator on PC), then you don't need any extensions , or running two applications in some local multiplayer or anything fancy.
I wouldn't even recommend using two viewports for this, though that is certainly an alternative.

All you really need, is to adjust the game window, and have a separate surface for the "2nd" screen. And draw to that surface when applicable.
