Pipes the Twitch Chat to a VirtualBox Virtual Machine

Note: This was thrown together quickly and not refactored/optimized. It's bare bones to get you started, it should be easy to add to it.

============== Setup

1. You will need to have VirtualBox installed with a Virtual Machine running.

2. You will need to reference the VBoxC.dll in your "Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox" folder for the c# code to compile.

============== Usage

1. You will need to generate a IRC password to access Twitch's Chat Servers here: http://twitchapps.com/tmi/

2. Setup your username and password (the password contains "oauth:" inside it.)

3. Edit the IRC data, you can have multiple servers seperated by a comma (no spaces).

4. Hit "Connect", wait about 5 seconds.

5. Hit "Join Channel", your Twitch Chat Channel is your username, for instance, "#myusername".

6. Verify the Virtual Machine Name matches your VirtualBox VM name.

7. Hit "Lock", to begin sending chat commands to virtual box.

Note: You do not have to be streaming for it to work, just go to your channel and start chatting.

============== Custom Key Config

The program is setup to use SNESKeys as it's default key command configuration.
There is also an example for Final Fantasy 7 from Steam. You can create a new enum in ButtonMaster.cs to map your desired keys to the key inputs of the program/emulator you use in virtualbox. After you create the enum, pass it in the Form1 Constructor that creates the ButtonMaster object.
