Interesting script. However, I'm puzzled as to why coroutines were used. Perhaps for speed?
I'd rather use a straightforward means of displaying subtitles that only uses movie.framecount(), such as this:
[code lua]local emu
if FCEU then emu= FCEU
elseif snes9x then emu= snes9x
elseif gens then emu= gens
end
local fc
function S(st,sd , sx,sy , ...) -- time, duration, x, y
if fc >= st and fc < st+sd then
for z= 1, arg.n do
gui.text(sx,sy+9*(z-1),arg[z])
end
end
end
while true do
if FCEU then gui.drawpixel(1,1,"clear") end
fc=movie.framecount()
S( 200, 800, 30, 30,"Just messing around.")
S( 500, 400, 40, 39,"You can specify","an arbitrary","number of lines,","or overlapping subs!")
S( 600, 500, 30,100,"This is simply a sample test.")
emu.frameadvance()
end[/code]
