this Game Link thing is interesting:It's a local IPC protocol to let you write a 3rd party program that interacts with an emulator, getting RAM contents and even capturing video/sending input. It seems to have been developed for Grid Cartographer, a closed source program, but it's implemented in DOSBox-X:https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/tree/master/src/gamelink

this looks like it'd be a great platform to build a DOSBox specific cheat/reverse-engineering tool. that'd be sweet

I'm gonna have to write my own code to talk to it, which is a pain because the docs are "the source"

@Craigp @foone I also implemented Gamelink for Applewin and other derivatives, so I could use GridCarto with Apple games. I even got permission to modify the Ti99 emulator Classic99https://github.com/hasseily/AppleWin

@Rikkles @Craigp oh that's cool. More examples of integrating it will definitely help me.Is there any docs I'm missing, or did you just build it off the dosbox source?

@Craigp @foone sorry didn’t see this. I built it off the dosbox source, with a few questions answered by the developer himself
