Description

As it is, Bizhawk prepends every command with the number of bytes of the sent message; i.e. sending "starttimer\r\n" actually sends `12 starttimer\r\n`. It would be helpful if this module could accept this format, especially since I imagine interacting with Bizhawk is a common use case for this module.

Research direction

Start by locating the comm module and the code that parses incoming commands. Trace how the existing command format is read, then verify that a byte-count prefix such as `12 starttimer\r\n` is accepted while the command and line ending remain usable. Done means Bizhawk's prefixed messages work through the module.
