My friend sent me his old RPG Maker XP game. Decades old. Now I did ask him if there was some code or secret but of course he didn't remember. I've checked the code of the game, but I don't have the knowhow to figure out what's wrong.
I boot up the game, get the u popup, then get the knight screen. It's maybe a title screen processing error? Possibly?
Here's the Scene_Title script

I'll link the folder with the game if you're feeling generous and want to search yourself, I would deeply appreciate any help though, this game has sentimental value. If you suspect another problem I can share the relevant bits.
