feature request: register dump #3

Open cyberic99 opened 6 years ago

Hello It could be interesting to have a realtime register dump, to a pipe. The output could then be sent by another process, to real hardware, or logged to a file. You could use a text format with timing info and reg nb/value, or use the .vgm format, for instance. What do you think about it?

@FigBug what do you think?

Haven't had time to look into doing it yet, pretty niche feature.

In fact I think that it won't be too difficult, as you already work with the emulated CPU registers. It is a step towards playing the tunes on real hardware, so I think it can be quite useful

That doesn't make sense to me. Surely this plugin is for people who don't have a real SID chip or are looking to exploit the advantages of softsynth plugins? Why send data to a real SID via a softsynth plugin, which could only introduce latency and other potential issues?

The aim is to record the reg dump and then replay it later on real hardware. It does not really need to be realtime or latency-free, but it has to embed accurate timing information
