PCSX-Redux Lua CLI (WSL + Windows)

Bridge to execute Lua in Windows PCSX-Redux from WSL/Gemini using %APPDATA%.

Setup

1. Directory: Ensure C:\Users\acurr\AppData\Roaming\pcsx-effect-editor\lua_cli exists.
2. Emulator: In PCSX-Redux, run dofile('tools/watcher.lua').
   • The script uses os.getenv("APPDATA") to find the bridge folder.

Protocol

• Bridge Path (Windows): %APPDATA%\pcsx-effect-editor\lua_cli\
• Bridge Path (WSL): /mnt/c/Users/acurr/AppData/Roaming/pcsx-effect-editor/lua_cli/
• Input: incoming.lua (MUST end with -- run to execute)
• Output: response.txt

Gemini Workflow

1. Write Lua to /mnt/c/Users/acurr/AppData/Roaming/pcsx-effect-editor/lua_cli/incoming.lua.
   • Crucial: Append -- run to the end of the file.
2. Poll for /mnt/c/Users/acurr/AppData/Roaming/pcsx-effect-editor/lua_cli/response.txt.
3. Read result. (Note: The watcher overwrites this file on each run).
