outline:

• folder structure
• plunderunity
• EmulatorCapture
• mixer4 / mixer8 / osc
• sample loader
• scripts
• tracks4.bat / tracks8.bat
• track.bat

directory structure

you need your folder structure like this:

PLUNDER_HOME (%PLUNDER_HOME%)

• Bizhawk (build here)
• output
  • BizHawk.exe
• scripts (git repo)
• samples (git repo)
• plunderunity (git repo)
• roms (from internet archive)
• Bizhawk-source (optional, if you want to modify bizhawk itself) (git repo)

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:

• nes: https://archive.org/details/cylums-nes-rom-collection
• n64: https://archive.org/download/cylums-nintendo-64-rom-collection/Cylum%27s%20Nintendo%2064%20ROM%20Collection%20%2802-19-2021%29/
• psx: https://archive.org/download/psx-roms-archive

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

https://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/LuaFunctions

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:

track.bat <sample_name> <window_title>
