Using Elgato Stream Deck to access Bigbox games/Platform/Genres etc..

[DStealth]

Hi, I've been working on my bartop arcade for a few years (keep adding things, can't stop lol) and now I have integrated a Elgato Stream deck (not the Steam deck! lol) into my build. I wanted to know if it's possible to create shortcuts to favourite games, Genre wheel , platform wheels etc within Big Box.  I've added shortcuts to certain steam games , but of course these open up outside of big box.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Hopefully this is possible.

You'd want to take a look in the Keyboard mappings section of Big Box, all the options to do things similar to what you are looking to do are located there.

Thanks, got certain keyboard mappings mapped to the deck.  But what I was after was a way to map a shortcut to specific games within Bigbox and a specific 'wheel'. For instance, i have a section that launches a jukebox software to play game ost's, i would like to map a shortcut yo that 'platform wheel' to the deck, to go straight there.

You would need to create a Big Box plugin to do something similar to that. We don't have anything built into the UI that would let you bind a "View specific platform" key

Did you end up writing any scripts or integrating the stream deck successfully?

You may also want to look here.  Maybe not specifically what you're looking for, but perhaps an alternative.
