Talk to GIMX from Java?

Hi,

I want to make an AI program that "plays" a game. I am a professional Java programmer, so that is the language of choice for me.

I thought it would be easy to get Java to talk to GIMX by emulating keypresses, but GIMX does not receive them. Can you suggest a way I can get the two to communicate, or perhaps another controller emulator written in Java?

Thanks

There is an issue with virtual devices in windows.

As a work around, you can use the alternate SDL.dll file.

I recommend you to backup the original SDL.dll file, and to only use the alternate SDL.dll file when you use virtual devices.
The alternate SDL.dll file lacks multiple mice and keyboard support and is less optimized.

You can always send the data to the teensy board directly (providing you would use the USB)
