#### Stream gameplay audio and video in real-time from your Playdate

\*\*!!! I don't own a PlayDate so I can't verify whether this works as intended but the terminal shows no errors when the app is launched. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. !!! \*\*

**Type this into the terminal to make the app work:**

`sudo snap connect playdate-mirror:raw-usb`

**If you want to use a controller:**

`sudo snap connect playdate-mirror:joystick`

Mirror is an app that streams gameplay audio and video in real-time from your Playdate to a macOS, Windows, or Linux computer.

This makes it super simple to record or stream Playdate games, gives you a giant-sized screen for your Playdate, and, by using standard game controllers or your mouse or PC, allows you to control your Playdate accessibly using alternative inputs.
