If it's not too tightly coupled, we could make a plugin API so people can write their own scripts using managed .dll's.
no, that's not what he's suggesting. he proposed to make a dll that lua can consume. lua would still be involved, as would the bizhawk to lua bindings.
You'll find that theres no good place to actually put c# code right now to control the emulator with. Your best bet would probably be to extend the lua console system to be able to manage a list of c# coroutines activated by name via reflection, in addition to lua scripts, and have the c# coroutines run immediately after the lua coroutines, so that the means by which the main emulator frontend launches the coroutines is uniform.
Edit: Well I've decided what I'm going to do. I'm going to implement the NEAT library from sharpNEAT in C# so lua doesn't do that heavy lifting, and make a createNetworks(<params>), evaluateNetworks(<netInputs>) which returns the output neuron states. It would also allow us/me to focus on the fitness function and the inputs/outputs in lua.
* Compile such file to a NEAT.dll * Place the DLL next the the BizHawk.exe * Add the following to your lua script:Language: cextern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int luaopen_NEAT(lua_State *L);
All that is left is implementing the createNetworks and evaluateNetworks, and deciding how it will pass variables around. If your params and return values are simple strings/numbers it's perfect. Simple tables are OK as well, as long as you just fetch values immediately. If there's callbacks, things get nasty. Especially if there's multi-threading. For information on how to implement the C wrapper functions: Manual Lua Reference Example of how the luaopen_NEAT could be written: http://pastebin.com/pGeSwZVCLanguage: lualocal NEAT = require("NEAT") local myNetwork = NEAT.createNetworks(params)
Has anyone thought about using this on Kaizo Mario or any of the other ROM hacks. That would surely be interesting to see how it handles Kaizo
The machine isn't as beast as you think. bsnes is a slow emulator. be sure youve picked the performance core..

That, and he needs to uncheck "clock throttling". That said, even my pc gets a minimum of 120 fps unthrottled, and it's crap.
Anything you read about a 6400% limit is idiotic. There is no 6400% limit. Nobody is even achieving 6400%. Stop fiddling with the speed. Unthrottle the emulator. It won't go faster than that. What youre basically doing is saying "I want more speed. I see a speed option" and clubbing it with your first without thinking. The speed controls how fast it runs throttled. If you cant achieve that speed, you dont get that speed. If you want maximum speed, you dont want to control the speed. Run it unthrottled. The performance core doesnt crash for most people. Maybe youre doing something odd, or your OC isnt as stable as you think.

Has MarI/O beaten any hard level so far? Will he ever do it?
It looks like the neurol connection are connecting the buttons itself with each other. Which is not meant to happen in theory. There seem to be 2 connections between 'B' and 'Left', a red and a green one. Someone has an idea?toolchild: I'm not sure what you expect to get by removing bias cell, but I wish you the best in getting a smarter AI out of it. As far as the connections in your latest post child, don't worry about the layout of the neurons in the networks too much. The goal is to get the ai to work, not to audit the neurons. Survival of the fittest doesn't care how something gets done, just that it does. Lastly, the SethBling MarI/O ai has a major bug, in that it should allow for recurrent neural networks, but doesn't. It needs to allow full clocks to form.
I am still new to programming, so feel free to give advice.
