Hey everyone, I would like to use Lua functions available for the BizHawk emulator ( to read and write from the Main memory domain, for example). But also i need more powerfull language like C++ to make complex calculation with input data from the game. I read a lot of materials about calling C++ function from Lua and I can do this without Bizhawk / Lua Functions. But I have no idea how run Bizhawk Lua function from Visual Studio project or GCC (it does not matter). Can anyone help me?

Sounds like it'd be easier to write your program directly in the emulator source.

for visual studio: 1. open VS 2. set startup project to emuhawk 3. run it for 'more complex calculations' 1. study our new 'external tool interface' or 1. consult the web for how to make a lua library dll. it wont be any different for bizhawk than for any other lua, with the possible exception of calling convention/msvc runtime choice youll need to use to be compatible with our homemade lua dll
