I need a LUA Script that will display a message I can setup. I don't need the message to do anything else. No conditions. Just Show the message. I don't care where. It can be Center Screen or in a corner.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war. The Prince doth arrive he doth please.

It depends on the emulator, but the Lua Scripting page might help out. It usually looks something like this: 
Language: lua
while true do
  gui.text(10,20,"look it's a text")
  emu.frameadvance()
end
It will display "look it's a text" at the horziontal position 10 and vertical position 20 (counting pixels from left and from the top respectively).
Warning: Might glitch to credits I will finish this ACE soon as possible (or will I?)

Thanks. It worked for my testing purposes. I wanted it for a quick test. I had a problem with LUA scripts not behaving wrong in BizHawk. I think it was resolved.
