I am having a strange issue. I am making a Lua script for reinforcement learning in Super Mario Bros. The script automatically loads a ROM and plays a movie until it is finished, then tries to make inputs that maximizes Mario's X coordinate. The details don't matter. My problem is that for some reason, FCEUX completely crashes as soon as I run the script. Other scripts work fine. I deliberately put a print command at the start to see if at least that gets executed, but nothing gets printed. Nothing I tried has worked.(By the way, I don't really care about how awful my coding is, I just want the thing to run at all.) As far as I know, the file size is probably not the issue since I have made longer scripts and they work flawlessly. I'm using the 64-bit interim build because emu.loadrom(~) wasn't supported on FCEUX 2.2.3 and I'm too stupid to know how to build FCEUX from the WIN32 binary. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Also, I'm not available on Discord anymore, for at least a week.
