TinCan.NET (WIP)

A work-in-progress GUI input plugin for N64 emulators.

Architecture

The process split is inevitable—there's no clean way to have two GUI event loops running in the same process. Thus, this plugin uses ZeroMQ as a middleman to send requests to and from the GUI.

Building instructions

You'll need .NET 6, CMake (minimum version 3.24), and vcpkg (Windows only). Be sure to set the environment variable VCPKG_ROOT if you're using vcpkg; this is required for the CMake preset to work.

• Build TinCan.NET.Native using the provided presets, and TinCan.NET as you would any other .NET project.
• Publish TinCan.NET as a single-file executable, and place it in the same folder as tincan-bridge.dll.
• Use it as a plugin in your favourite frontend and pray it works.
