But that code doesn't check the number of games, just the number of controllers?
For DualGambatte, it's the same principle. Controller 1 is the first game boy, and Controller 2 is the second.
E: Just tested, DualGambatte only recognizes the first two games in the XML generated by the Multi Disk Bundler. So really there's no reason to have max be anything higher than 20.
Though now I want to see how this behaves with the Apple][.

As far as I am aware, the most disks that the Apple II used, is eight. The most I think ANY game could use, in theory, is Monster Rancher. As it allows, in theory, infinite Discs.

I don't know how specific this script is to Aria of Sorrow, but it was written years ago for VBA and I'm having serious trouble converting it to LuaHawk. Could someone point me in the right direction or, maybe, if you'll be so kind,try converting it for me because I have no clue what I'm doing?

Isn't the conversion of the addresses something like take out the 02000000 part and then add +8000 and that gives you the address for Bizhawk?
Iirc Bizhawk's default memory domain is WRAM, which starts at 0x02000000. Though that script in particular accesses ROM, so a simple subtraction doesn't work
while the script is running and I manually change the screen size? It seems to only takes the value when I run the script, rather than inside the loop every frame.
Are you sure this code is inside the loop? I use something similar and it definitely is updated every frame (and can be updated even when the emulator is paused).

At function "miscflags", for some odd reason, not only is "y" not updating, but the rectangles don't update. If I changed it to text (for example:)
function miscflags()
local y = client.screenheight()-10
gui.text(0, y-18, 'Flags: ')
--Checks if the player has obtained the Camera flash at least once
if bit.check(memory.read_s8(candyBox),7) then gui.text(0,0,'TESTING') end
--Checks if the player has obtained candy at least once
if bit.check(memory.read_s8(candyBox),2) then gui.drawRectangle(5, y, 4, 10, 'RED', 'RED') end
--Checks if the player has obtained soda at least once
if bit.check(memory.read_s8(candyBox),3) then gui.drawRectangle(10, y, 4, 10, 'GREEN', 'GREEN') end
--Checks if the player has obtained marbles at least once
if bit.check(memory.read_s8(candyBox),6) then gui.drawRectangle(15, y, 4, 10, 'BLUE', 'BLUE') end
--Checks if the player has obtained water at least once
if bit.check(memory.read_s8(keyItems),0) then gui.drawRectangle(20, y, 4, 10, 'AQUA', 'AQUA') end
--Checks if the player has obtained water bottle at least once
if bit.check(memory.read_s8(gear+1),1) then gui.drawRectangle(25, y, 4, 10, 'DARKCYAN', 'DARKCYAN') end
--Checks if the player has unlocked the Toys tab
if bit.check(memory.read_s8(keyItems),2) then gui.drawRectangle(30, y, 4, 10, 'DARKKHAKI', 'DARKKHAKI') end
end
gui.text(0,0,'TESTING') actually works, but the rectangles still won't update, nor will y.
Edit: Stopping the script clears the text, but not the rectangles. Is that intended?
You're using GBA core, alright? I'm testing on it and the position of the text is indeed changing if I resize the window. This script shows the actual value changing.
Language: lua
while true do
local height =client.screenheight()
gui.text(10, 40, height)
emu.frameadvance()
end
However, the functions that use the native surface (all but gui.text) don't care about the screen size, but about the buffer size: client.bufferheight() and client.bufferwidth().
You should probably be aware of those two issues[1, 2], that were only fixed after the latest release.

Whatever. That was just the particular one I needed in that particular script. And it is basically an example.
I used it to make Gens code compatible, but its (and fceux') library uses SHIFT() with positive and negative values, while bizhawk's one uses 2 different functions.

Sorry for asking, but when I try something like
gui.text(0, 30, '\226\131\151')
but it gives me â and uses only \226. How would I make it use the arrow?
Using
gui.text(0, 30, '\20D7')
gui.text(0, 30, '\8407')
or
gui.text(0, 30, '\\u20D7')
doesn't seem to work.

gui.text uses a bitmap font, and there's a limited amount of characters that the generator used for it supports for Currier.

Lua escapes "\ddd" sequences byte by byte (see llex.c in the lua source for reference), however, you can simply do gui.text(0, 30, "⃗") in Lua (yes, the arrow is in there).
Anyways, feos already mentioned why it still wouldn't work in Bizhawk.
Additional information:
Bizhawk still uses Lua 5.1, however, since Lua 5.3 you can either escape a UTF-8 character by using "\u{20D7}" or you can use utf8.char(0x20D7).

Resource file is commented out as I'm not confident in requiring it yet. Issue I'm having is the script isn't drawing either way. It's intended for use with Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. It's not throwing any errors, though, so I'm not sure how to trace what's going wrong here.
E: I think I figured it out - I was displaying white text on a white background >.<
