directory structure

you need your folder structure like this:

PLUNDER_HOME (%PLUNDER_HOME%)

all the github repos are here

you have to set the main folder as your %PLUNDER_HOME% environment variable. (i'll make this easier in the future)

Window Search Environmental Variables:


roms

you can get extra roms at the internet archive, following links:

the search \[console\] rom archive usually works pretty well, or[console] cylum`


plunderunity

repo

mostly the unity tools to render emulator windows and send/receive OSC messages.

it can also send and receive OSC for some parameters.

all of the experiments are shared in this repo, its chaos.

some useful prefabs

EmulatorCapture

is a prefab that captures a window. you can set the window title to capture on "Partial Window Title", and set the render texture of your choice.

you can use the render texture on a canvas Raw Image.

Mixer4 and Mixer8

mixes 4 or 8 textures, based on windows that contain the string trackNheir title. (N from 1 to 8), see scripts/track.bat for details.

SampleLoader

used to load samples in specific tracks. call LoadSample(string trackName, string sampleName) to load the named sample on the track named trackName. see scripts/track.bat for details.


scripts

tracks-N

opens
in the scripts folder, you can run the script tracks-8.bat to open 8 bizhawk instances names trackX (1 to 8)

it does this by running the track script, which you can run like this:
