Unfortunately, it appears memory reads must be performed within the Bluestacks Android environment. It is possible to make memory reads outside of Bluestacks, for example, using a Windows program that peeks inside of Bluestacks?

It's possible, but non-trivial. Because BlueStacks is a fully-fledged VM and therefore manages its own memory, you'd have to walk the virtual memory manager tree and potentially read the Linux swap file directly, in addition to reading the virtual memory of the host process. That's a project in and of itself, regardless of any bot.

I haven't found it particularly inconvenient to run a server within BlueStacks/Andy - in fact I prefer the model, because it eventually will lead to an independent bot that could run on any Android device, without the need for a Windows PC at all.
