Hack description

The two player mod allows two simultaneous players to play while receiving the same pieces. Garbage is not sent between players by default. The GameGenie code KUTPUX or the two player-garbage IPS enables garbage.

There are two variations of the mod. One shows the next piece on the side, which makes it easier to see with peripheral vision. The other shows it on top, which makes it clearer at-a-glance which next piece belongs to which player.

Also included is a handicap mod that provides a height-select for Type A. Instead of Type B's garbage within the height area the area is simply off-limits and unusable.

Need more features like the infedility version	redhotiron2004	2020-09-26	Version 1.1.1
I like the alternate arrangement where you see the next block on top/ But, then I find that this hack might need more features like the infedility hack for the same game. Also, I would like to be able to use "Controller input display" and "Tetris - Actually Useful Statistics (TAUS)" hack implemented here as well to become the definitive version of Tetris for me. I know that garbage can't be sent the other player but still with all the aforesaid patches it would become quite good.
