screen_data_reader

Read data from the psx(Sony PlayStation)'s screen via video or screen recording

Used for locating and decoding images outputted by psx_screen_dumper.

screen_data_reader parses a custom format for the data patterns as the psx appears to be too slow to generate QR codes in realtime (at least with off-the-shelf libraries)
