Just an FYI, I did help the author conceptualize and bug test this script, but I am not the author

Update 11/13/22:

Alright, the latest release for GameEventHub can be found here: https://github.com/christopher-roelofs/ ... /tag/0.1.3

NOTE: If you are running OBS 28, you’ll need to use the websocket 4.9.1-compat plugin found here: https://discord.com/channels/@me/952828 ... 7131254784

Also, if any devs see this and would be interested in taking a look at upgrading GameEventHub to work with OBS websocket 5.0, please let me know!

Update 2/14/22:

GameEventHub 0.1.1 released https://github.com/christopher-roelofs/ ... b/releases

There is now integration for Retroarch, Steam, and Discord! There is also the ability to run custom scripts and there is a new web dashboard feature that allows you to display Game data, box art, etc. in a browser.

Another nice feature is that you can now trigger OBS events based on when you change cores/games on the MiSTer. I use those events to do things like resizing my game capture window, changing the volume of my capture source and pulling the game details so my viewers on Twitch can use an !info command to see them.

Do read the documentation to get an idea of what you can do!

Update 2/1/22:

MiSTerOBS 1.05 Released! https://github.com/christopher-roelofs/ ... s/tag/1.05

With this new version, you can now automatically pull box art for each game into your OBS/SLOBS scene

You can also pull in info like Game Description, Genre, Publisher, Developer, etc. I use a tool called Kruiz Control to make this info available to my viewers https://github.com/Kruiser8/Kruiz-Control

For an example of the new box art functionality in action, go here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1273342539

Update 5/10/21:

The script is alive!!

An awesome dev in the MiSTer community was kind enough to work with me on this and bring the script to life!

It’s a great tool for streamers that want to show the name of the game and console you are playing without having to do manual updates

Go here to check it out: https://github.com/christopher-roelofs/misterobs

Obligatory NOT A DEV

I just wanted to know if something like this is feasible...a script that runs on a PC and "listens" and logs things from a MiSTer connected to the same network.

Use Case: I stream on Twitch using the MiSTer and I'd love to have a way to change a specific text file on my PC when switching Game/Core on the MiSTer. This would be a way to automatically change a game title in my OBS overlay when switching games/cores on the MiSTer

1) Change game on MiSTer
2) Listener script grabs file name and core name
3) Script writes file name and core name to C:\gametitle.txt

Looks good

In total you poll using SSH for the Core/MRA/Console-Game-Name each Second (or whatever is set)?

Ok, but how are the console loaded games identified?
Is there anything I need to do on the MISTer side before I get the information out of "get_last_game(core)" function.
I checked my files in "/media/fat/config" but I don't find anything usable.

Many Thanks

It then matches the core in the cores.json file and figures out what it needs to do based on that.

I understand

But if I start, from my MiSTer, for example an NES Game, I don't find anything related to NES or the loaded Game in /media/fat/config.
I looks to me nothing is written to /media/fat/config

Could you give me an example?

Panda wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 12:00 pm You should see .cfg files like GBA_recent_1.cfg, Genesis_recent_1.cfg etc.

Do you have the recents setting enabled in your MiSTer.ini file?

I think I have everything installed correctly but... how do I display anything in OBS?
