@foone I've mentioned in the past that a keyboard with macros programmable in BASIC (via built-in character display) would be pretty great.

@foone Obviously this would slow down emulation, but I think it would still be bearable, if not fullspeed. MESS could send a simple command to an external process telling it what changed, and the external process could manage recording to a database.

@foone An idea I've been mulling for a while is to hack up a copy of MAME/MESS so it dumps the entire state of the system whenever something changes. The idea is that you could then build external tools to sort through this data and trace cause and effect, which could be a huge boon to reverse engineers. And of course it would be able to keep track of things like memory segments and overlays (or for game consoles, RAM and ROM banking) as the code is executing.
