Lua-scripted subtitles. Instructions for viewing:
- Copy entire code block into a simple text editor, like Notepad.
- Save as
filename.lua, though replace "filename" with whatever you want. Be sure to set "Save as type" to "all files".
Now bring up your Snes9x emulator, load the right ROM, run the movie, then run the script. Just look in the File pull-down menu for a "Run Lua Script..." option. Words should appear on occasion in the emulator window.
