Can external programs access ram data used by emulators?

It's been a while since I've really tried using ROMs for my accessibility-related projects (I made the mistake of trying to create an accessibility program for Sonic3 for my first attempt, and couldn't get my program to interpret level layouts in a useful way).

Anyway, my accessibility program ...

I'm still working with this. Just not getting very far. ^^

I think I'm going to try to come up with an approach that works for individual games, and see if I can expand from there.

Right now, I'm trying to get a program to read save states as its source of information. Never minding the annoyance ...

Well, it sounds like a good place to start.

Hmm. There's a program called the vOICe that makes sounds to represent images. It's not good for anything useful, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to set up an emulator to send its video to a program like that. It'd be a confusing mess if the ...

So, the FX you hear is the FX you COULD hear if you make the correct move
ex: If Mario is under a block with flower, you launch the "flower taking" fx ?

Not exactly, but the idea is similar.


It'd be helpful if one could mod a game to use stereo to show where an object is, but I don't think the ...

Well, here's an MP3 of the first level: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16520690/mario1-1.mp3
It's designed more specifically for Mario. Upcoming barriers, platforms, dropoffs and enemies make sound, there's sound for walking/landing/hitting things, and there's a "camera" that gives more specific sounds for ...

The idea is an accessibility tool for visually challenged players. There are games designed with VI players in mind, but as I'm sure you can imagine, the experience is very different from classic console games.
This idea actually got started when I made an audio version of Mario that seemed to work ...

I'm a noob--is this possible?

Hi, I'm quite the noob when it comes to the subject of Megadrive programming (have read a little on how to hack ROMs, but not done anything with it).
I'm wanting to develop a program that can interpret the visual things on screen and potentially output something--maybe audio--to represent it.
I know ...
