Subtitles for ActRaiser (U) TAS http://tasvideos.org/1747M.html
--Subtitles intended for Snes9x. Might work for other emulators.
--Script mostly by FatRatKnight, zidanax added some modifications, then FatRatKnight went rampaging to make the perfect script
-- Features:
-- Adjustible position
-- Variable duration
-- Any arbitrary number of lines.
-- Multiple instances of subtitles!
-- Array-based version.
-- Linked list seems to break horribly in FCEUX, by crashing it on close.
-- This is why I'd rather hand out the array-based version.
