I just searched around for an open source gameboy emulator, found gambatte, and edited the source to unlock the framerate and input random commands.

That's the beauty of twitchplayspokemon. The hivemind may be completely retarded and delayed by 30 seconds, but they have a collective goal in mind - and they don't stop spamming commands that are likely to bring them to that goal. The incorrect and troll commands are just random noise, the whole system tends toward completion of a goal, and they can get a lot done through it.
My RNG goes like this: every frame it just picks a new random button and presses it. If that button happens to be start, it only sometimes lets it through. There's no real pattern to it, but since
it's not true randomness it's possible that it tends toward certain buttons. An even amount of direction presses should generally end up with ash just walking around in circles, tending toward where the walls guide him.
The issue my game is having right now is that there's a one-square entrance to the path it needs to go, and there are ledges everywhere that are really easy to jump off of. It's not likely that it's going to make it anywhere because of that >.>... But, I'mma go to sleep and leave it going for 10 hours and see what it's like when I get back. I expect no progress besides a super-levelled cydaquil. Maybe I'll switch to another game after that.
