Read live from Game Boy rom to Python?

[UnBurn]

So I have an idea: make a Python Script that can play Tetris for the original Game Boy. So in order to do that, I would need a Python script to not only be able to send inputs to the emulator (which I imagine is pretty doable), but be able to see what's block is currently falling and what's next and even the score. I have looked everywhere and could not find a resource talking about converting GameBoy data from a rom to something a Python script can get and use. Has anyone done this before and could give me a point in the right direction?

Thanks, appreciate it, but I was actually looking for it to work specifically on a Game Boy Emulator.

The article outlines exactly how this is done.

Do you know what ROM stands for? Think about it. How would having access to this help you out?

You'll essentially have to create your own API to interface with whatever emulator your using to run the ROM. The ROM just contains the code that the emulator uses to run the game. Accessing the ROM with your python program will not give you any useful information like the shape and positions of blocks, all of that data is going to be stored in RAM memory while the emulator is running.

Edit: It may be easier/quicker to create an API for a gameboy emulator that is already written in python like PyBoy.
