retro_voiceover

This repo allows you to all voice overs to classic video games. See my (youtube)[] video here about the basics of the project.
Currently the project requires python 3+, runs on OSX and will shortly be ported to windows

You can run it 1 of two modes. Completely from command line, this can take a video stream, or find a window on your operating system with the game running. The second mode, uses an html page and then uploads screenshots to the webserver

installation

1. setup a venv

python3 -m venv venv

note this hasn't been tested on non-mac systems.

2. install deps

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

3. Install (RetroArch)[http://retroarch.com]

4. Download roms and games * No help will be given on this

Porting to new operating systems

find_window_id and capture_window_to_file are only functions that are using specific functions, or should anyways. you can reimplement those.
