PCSX2 now implements an IPC(Inter-Process Communication) protocol to allow inter-communication between external tools, PCSX2 and emulated games.
 
This protocol aims to allow things such as, for example:
 
* Communicating between a game and an external tool, e.g. to play music out of a game due to memory limitation.
* Communicating between PCSX2 and an external tool, e.g. to pause a game or load one.
* Communicating between a game and PCSX2, e.g. making a boss fight trigger a save-state.
 
And much more! <br/>
In contrast to PNACH, you can program the tool in the program of your choice and are not limited, logic wise.
This effectively allows something akin to a scripting language inside the emulator, except it runs outside of it.
 
To get started, you'll need to grab the latest release available here: https://projects.govanify.com/govanify/pine  <br/>
If you want to use the C++ API just compile on your OS of choice the client example and start hacking. <br/>
If you prefer another language, such as Python, Lua or Rust, you'll have to program an intermediary library first. <br/>
All of this process is detailed in the repository linked above.  <br/>
A fairly complete documentation is available in the release under either an HTML or PDF format, depending on your preferences in the releases linked above.
