Respect the lobby. Ask opponents if they’re okay with macros. Keep the spirit of the arcade alive. -- This function is called by Fightcade every

Just remember: the arcade was built on skill, not scripts. Use hotkeys to practice smarter , not to replace execution. Then turn them off and prove you can land the combo yourself.
| Problem | Likely Fix | | :--- | :--- | | Script won’t load | Check the file extension ( .lua , not .txt ). Use Fightcade’s System > Lua Scripting > Run Script . | | Hotkey does nothing | Verify the key code. Use print(input.get_key_state(0x13)) to see if Fightcade detects your key. | | Game crashes when script runs | You attempted to read an invalid memory address. Double-check your peek/poke addresses. | | Hotkey triggers multiple times | Add a debounce flag (the hotkey_pressed pattern shown earlier). | | Script works in FBNeo standalone but not Fightcade | Some functions (like emu.pause() ) are disabled in Fightcade’s network play to prevent desyncs. Use save/load states instead. |
