Accessing recent frames programmatically - VIPTankz123 - 11-07-2022

I am an AI researcher looking to use Dolphin emulator in my work. Things have been working well so far, but I need access to the game frames in the RGB format to feed the AI. I wanted to ask if there is any way this can be done. I am aware of the current frame dumping feature, however this involves a lot of writing to the disk which isn't feasible. I am able to access dolphin's memory, but have not been able to find the screen pixels in memory. I have been stuck on this for quite a while, so any input would be much appreciated.
