(UPDATE 3/21/2024: I figured all of this out, see here for my solution!)
Hey everyone,
New member here. Want to first say thank you for all the incredibly detailed documentation on how this game works on the backend. This site is a fantastic resource for those just getting into coding cheats for this game.
I'm working my way through the tutorial posts, learning how all of this works. I'm not going to take a shortcut and ask for a solution to my specific need, but instead, I want to know whether a specific aspect of my end goal is possible. In the end, I want to be able to log game events to a text file in real time - specifically, item usage. The most important parts of my project are logging when a star, thunderbolt, or blooper are used.
So my question is, if I'm able to isolate which parts of memory those events are stored in, is there a way to dump those parts of the memory to a text file? It doesn't seem that Dolphin Memory Engine has this type of real-time export functionality. Dolphin's logger can write to a file in real time, but I'm unsure whether I can get the memory to be output into the logger. Has anyone ever done this before? If all else fails, I suppose I could use an OCR on an open memory viewer window, but that solution isn't ideal.
For those curious, my project involves a tournament where the lights in the arena change in real time according to item usage
