Has anyone tried Steam Broadcast to show Dwarf Fortress?
« on: December 13, 2014, 08:47:40 pm »

An idea occurred to me while watching a friend play Skyrim; if you enable desktop viewing outside the game, you could theoretically launch Dwarf Fortress in windowed mode and have it appear in the broadcast, technically still part of your desktop.  Thoughts?

Just use OBS with twitch or hitbox. Works in monitor capture at least, haven't tried other methods.

Is FRAPS unable to do monitor capture? That's what I generally use for gaming videos.
