Speedrun Controller input display program

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knew what program is used by speedrunners such as Simply, Dwhatever, simpleflips and other speedrunners to show their controller inputs?

The most common program was originally called NintendoSpy, however I would recommend using zoggins’ fork if it called RetroSpy as it contains support for significantly more controllers. This assumes of course that you have an input display built for the console you want to capture inputs for.

And if you're not on Windows, I recently made a cross platform equivalent of NintendoSpy: http://mattbraddock.com/nincid/

So I want to capture my input display for my SNES controls. I run on an actual console. What's the process to do it to show on my stream?

The process for using my preferred solution is: You need to build an input display that works with RetroSpy, or have one commissioned to be built for you, then you download RetroSpy and simply run the program with the input display plugged.
