[advancemame-users] control of emulator by pipe

[Robert Carter]

Can anyone suggest a way to have advancemame use a pipe (unix domain
socket) as input so the gameplay can be controlled by another process?
I would like to control a game using computer vision, so another
process will be responsible for processing the input.

Regards
Rob

Because of the nature of what the software does, I imagine advmame would
be unwilling to detatch itself from the console to offer you a handle to
stdin. Have you tried messing around with the standard pipe and
redirection techniques?

What would really top it all would be a robot that could appreciate the
irony. :-)
