Abstract
In each odd-numbered frame, a game image generated by a three-dimensional image processing unitis supplied to a first LCD, and then a game image identical to the generated game image is stored in a first VRAM. Also, a two-dimensional image processing unitsupplies the game image stored in the immediately-preceding even-numbered frame in a second VRAMto a second LCD. On the other hand, in each even-numbered frame, a game image generated by the three-dimensional image processing unitis supplied to the first LCD, and then a game image identical to the generated game image is stored in the second VRAM. Also, the two-dimensional image processing unitsupplies the game image stored in the immediately-preceding odd-numbered frame in the first VRAMto the first LCD. With this, in a portable game machine including two display units, different three-dimensional game images can be simultaneously displayed by a single three-dimensional image processing unit on the two display units without flicker on the display screens.
