Description

Is it possible to implement retro_get_memory_data?

It seems that dosbox uses paging, therefore, simply sending the address of the beginning of the RAM wouldn't be possible.

Is there perhaps a different interface which allows to send memory from a specific address?

Research direction

Start at the retro_get_memory_data entry point and inspect how DOSBox's paging affects memory addresses. Determine whether the libretro interface supports reading a requested address or whether another interface is needed; done means the requested memory can be read through a supported approach.
