Wow seen a YouTube video of "World Record Progression: Super Mario 64 any%" Looked up how they do it and found this tasvideos.org. I all ready had a log in from long ago on here. But now I know can get a bot to play the game with just the controller input. I seen this how to make one for the NES. is that that only one? Any one else show how to do this like on a Raspberry PI or something? All so is there any hardware for the SNES to do the same? I think this is so neat to not change the game code any but input the game moves with a bot making it frame by frame in a emulator. The videos of this are amazing.

I made my nes / snes bot years ago. My newer robot is also getting pretty old. Others have made robots. Yes, there is hardware. No, RPi won't work with a standard distro, it's been tried and analyzed, but it can operate said hardware. I'm not aware of anyone selling any hardware. TASLink stuff is posted publicly but it is expensive and relies on obsolete hardware. total's bot is posted publicly but will require some work though not much. Not much for documentation though. My next robot will have public information, and hopefully finally some documentation in the bot space, but who knows when I'll get that done.
