  1. If you are using the SNES Mini, don't change any controller configuration.
  2. You'll also need some software, probably OBS, to record and/or stream. There are plenty of guides out there on how to stream to Twitch, I suggest locating one and reading up. The Twitch reddit usually has some sticky threads on this.

  1. While it's technically accurate to call the SNES Mini an emulator, the controller configuration is good to go out of the box. That's what screevo meant when he said don't change it.
  2. Streaming software tends to conveniently support local recording as well. OBS tends to be the tool of choice whether doing online or offline attempts.
