IRL TDC; reading and writing data live.

Nisse_thepear · 07-07-24, 10:10 AM

Hello!

Many years ago a prevalent user named reaper7 made a thread documenting a project of his where he created a real life TDC. When rigged up to his PC it could control the in-game TDC in SH3.

The project was astonishing and I'd like to experiment with something similar. Unfortunately the author didn't leave us with too many details, especially with how he read and wrote data from and to the actual game.
It sounds like he made his own tools, perhaps a hex editor or something in that fashion,

Has anyone here ever tried something similar or have any knowledge of how to go about this? I would be very thankful for any clues, knowledge or relevant information.

Many thanks,
