Working a way to access the RAM of the machine using CV could be interesting.

  • Allowing RAM output would allow a user to select a RAM address and use the value at that address as a modulation source. For games like super mario bros., one could modulate other parameters based on Mario's running speed for instance.

  • Allowing RAM input will need some conceptualizing, but it would act as a sort of digital "circuit bending" technique. Although it could break the emulation, this is true of real world circuit bending and may be desired functionality depending on how the emulation degrades upon breaking.

You might steal some code from Cheat Engine (Windows) or Game Conqueror (Linux) to implement memory scanning as well, would make finding interesting variable easier.

For those following this issue @anlexmatos has introduced the CV Genie to this repository that will be out for release soon hopefully! Issue #47 is tracking the development of the module. Currently CV Genie supports Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, but more titles will be coming soon :)
