ScriptHawk

A collection of Lua scripts and RAM watches for BizHawk providing many tools to assist with Glitch Hunting and TASing. ScriptHawk's Modular API allows new games to be supported easily.

  • If you're experiencing poor performance in BizHawk 2.1.0 or later, try switching Lua cores to "LuaInterface + Lua" in the Config -> Customize -> Advanced menu
  • BizHawk versions 1.13.0, 1.13.1, 2.0.0, and 2.0.1 do not work with ScriptHawk due to a bug that was fixed in 2.1.0
  • BizHawk versions prior to 1.11.5 are not supported by ScriptHawk
