I hope someone answers my question. In BizHawk, I want to know how to display the coordinates of characters and items on the screen. Please answer to me.

You'll want to use a Lua script for that. You'll find the Lua interface in the menues under Tools -> Lua Console. If you are a beginner in Lua, there are many sample scripts included in BizHawk to help get you started. You'll find them in the Lua folder.

That means I need to organize my own script to display the coordinates on the screen or search from the internet? Thank you for answering the questions.

You can also... 1. Find the right addresses (also needed for a script) with Ram Search 2. Add them to Ram Watch 3. Ram Watch > Options > Display on screen

When displaying Ram Watch addresses on screen on NES game it cuts the value, and displays only ": 0" because it's too the left of the screen. I tried finding some option to not cut the left side of the screen but couldn't find any... edit: found it under NES options, but the box is ticked off. edit2: figured it out, it does not display the address, but the "note". Thanks for the tip!
