TwitchPlays-Raspbian VS raspberry_ninja

So, for some context, I am a student doing this as a project for class and my end result was to hopefully run a game for the class to join in on. For the past few days I've been trying to get this project to work using this neat guide I found on GitHub linked here: https://github.com/jiinurppa/TwitchPlays-Raspbian. Everything seemed to be going well until it was time to run Retroarch with the NES emulator as the guide suggested until I realized that the Raspberry Pi severely struggled to even run the NES emulator (currently testing with Super Mario Bros. 3). Nonetheless, I continued on with the guide to see if I could at least stream the game to Twitch which did not seem to work either. I have now stumbled upon RetroPie and wondered if this sort of thing could be accomplished using RetroPie instead of a regular Raspberry Pi OS image with Retroarch. The part that seemed most complicated to me is that RetroPie being its own image, does not provide easy access to files and scripts that I would need to make something like this possible. Thus I now ask for help here to see if anyone has carried out a similar project and could teach me how they managed to do it.

Hi, Could it work for my need?, without knowing more, yes, it meets the requirements. https://raspberry.ninja is a custom version of VDO.Ninja on a Raspberry PI.

You can find out more about the solution here: https://github.com/steveseguin/raspberry_ninja

If you want to keep adding additional cameras, and have a limited budget, I have the Raspberry_ninja project in development (https://github.com/steveseguin/raspberry_ninja), which allows you to turn a $15 Rasbperry Pi computer into a video encoder, that can publish video from a cheap camera, webcam, or HDMI adapter to VDO.Ninja. Cheaper than buying a bunch of phones, although it's still a work in progress.

There's support for Raspberry Pi and Nvidia Jetson mini-computers with VDO.Ninja, so you can make your own wireless camera setup for pretty cheap. Code is open source: https://github.com/steveseguin/raspberry_ninja/

There is some proof-of-concept code written for the Raspberry Pi, but could be extended to any Linux server. https://github.com/steveseguin/raspberry_ninja You can use this code to go from something like FFmpeg to OBS.Ninja directly, without needing any browser code or that involved. It being a working proof of concept only though, it needs more development to have it work reliably in a production setting. It also would not support any of the advanced features of OBS.Ninja; at least not without a major amount of work.

There's this project I'm working no, https://github.com/steveseguin/raspberry_ninja, which is designed to let embedded devices stream into OBS.Ninja using hardware acceleration. Would take a bit of work to get going though with your needs; maybe a raspberry pi zero /w an HDMI adapter could be made to work as an on-drone encoder though.
