Is there any possibility to add dual monitor (Hercules+VGA) support? I tried some patches to the code to use the console as output for the second monitor, but I don't know the internals of DOSBox and the code is quite difficult to follow. By the way... is there any doc concerning the internals of DOSBox to add some missing features?

If you're using Windows, you should be able to use the extended desktop feature to position the console and main windows on different monitors. It should work that way for fullscreen mode too, although you might need to set the virtual position of the second monitor's desktop to be above that of the first's to get around quirks.
