I was reading http://tasvideos.org/LuaScripting/Macros.html on how to get auto hold to work in SNES9x, but it immediately crashes the emulator. Note that I am using 1.43 v17 svn 146.

Inside the while loop, it needs to have the following instruction: emu.frameadvance()

An alternative is to use the gui.register() function, the function regstered will be executed every frame. 
Language: Lua
function holdY()
	joypad.set(1,{Y=true})
end

gui.register(holdY)

I just used the input macro editor instead. However, it wouldn't be a bad idea to fix the page anyway.
