https://retroactivearcade.ca/products/universal-fighting-board https://beagleboard.org/black I'm picturing the Beaglebone being fed input commands over network / sd, then processing those commands into exact button presses / timing to the Fighting Board, connected to various consoles via USB. Has anybody attempted something like this for the more recent consoles? Stage 1 will be replacing my crappy hacked RemotePlay app in my Ps4 Twitchplay setup. Assuming I get that going flawlessly, it should increase the TASability of that setup by 1000+% percent to be fed inputs over a dedicated USB instead of a shared network already being used for the console's display traffic. Obviously it will still lack a way to really sync to the console and deal with loading times, but it'll be better. Does TASbot code exist already for the Beaglebone? Anyone personally familiar with it?

You're probably better off using the PRUs directly if you're doing wired connections, though I forget what voltage they operate at (probably 3.3V)

Other systems had verified TASes by tapping into the controller's clock signal and knowing exactly how many times it had been polled. Is there anything functionally equivalent that you're aware of that I could do with USB controllers, or is it down to carefully controlling the timing of the PRU loops feeding the inputs?
