Real Time Corruptor automation?

Corruptions, corruptions, corruptions. They can happen everywhere at the most critical moment, like copying important financial data from one place to another. But with backups we are safe, yay! But this is not about backups...

So what is Real Time Corruptor (RTC for short)? It's a piece of software that hooks into an emulator's* memory and modifies random bits to some other bits making the game run in unstable way and, in the worst case scenario, crash completely.

This is how it looks like:

But it's not about RTC either, it's about how you could possibly automate (or integrate) it with something that is not just "Start Auto-Corrupt". Well, with the magic of programming you can.

Lately I wrote a small console APP in C that can run desired intensity level by running this APP with a numeric parameter, being that intensity. "What for, you still need to run it manually," you may ask. Well, that's not really the case if you develop something else as well that can run shell APPs. For that Python is helpful. Without much of a hassle one can create Python script to run that application on a command, but what for? Python can be integrated in a lot of tools... *cough*  streaming software *cough*... and then controlled through those means for something outside triggering it to happen - there are those sensor things to developer boards. How about reading loudness and putting that as a corruption. What? You can do that? Yes!

Unfortunately both tools (the APP and the script) are currently closed-source and private, because they were developed with some purpose in mind (no, I'm not revealing it at this point). Buy hey, I can guarantee you that I had it working as a proof-of-concept. Don't believe me? Fine.

And no, I used plain C, not Autohotkey (hint, hint).

* - note that emulation in some countries may be banned. Always use the title you owned and the hardware you owned if you really need to do that (there is just no other way to test how game acts during corruption process)
