I've tried once to create an external solution; eg using monitor mode as "remote control" with some ugly python script which communicates with the emulator this way. However it was quite messy to use stdin of vice to do things like this, some more advanced API/ABI by vice would be possible to write similar solutions more easier, maybe it is not even a must to have built-in solution into the VICE. Recent development snapshot of vice (maybe earlier ones too, I haven't checked it honestly ....) gives the possibility to use monitor by connecting to a tcp port listened by vice. However in my experiance it is quite unstable (it is very usual to crash vice with sig11 this way) and also it is not so funny to "interface" with vice internals by parsing output of given monitor commands (and also giving them), etc ... What I wanted to say is something like in mplayer (I was a developer of it): it has got a "slave" mode, and most GUIs for it etc are external stuffs controlling mplayer itself through that "slave mode". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Thu Mar 15 22:14:00 2012
