Is there a way to improve the following code?
Do I need to use caFree in the all Close events?
Also CE display errors when I close ePSXe, how to get rid of them?

Code:

GameName1 = 'ePSXe ENG.exe'
GameName2 = 'ePSXe.exe'
GameID1 = getProcessIDFromProcessName(GameName1)
GameID2 = getProcessIDFromProcessName(GameName2)
if (GameID1 == nil) and (GameID2 ~= nil) then
openProcess(GameName2)
elseif (GameID1 ~= nil) and (GameID2 == nil) then
openProcess(GameName1)
elseif (GameID1 == nil) and (GameID2 == nil) then
closeCE()
return end

MenuIt[7].OnClick = function(sender111)
closeCE()
end

MenuIt[11].OnClick = function(sender)
closeCE()
end

function CloseClick()
closeCE()
return caFree
end

timer = createTimer(nil,false)
timer.Interval = 1000

trtimesecCounter = 0
-- OnTimer
counterUsedForGC = 0
timer.OnTimer = function()

GameID1 = getProcessIDFromProcessName(GameName1)
GameID2 = getProcessIDFromProcessName(GameName2)
if (GameID1 == nil) and (GameID2 == nil) then
closeCE()
return end

trtimesecCounter = trtimesecCounter + 1
Trtime[1].Caption = trtimesecCounter % 60
Trtime[2].Caption = (trtimesecCounter % 3600) // 60
Trtime[3].Caption = trtimesecCounter // 3600

if trtimesecCounter % 60 < 10 then
timeadd0[4].Caption = '0'
else
timeadd0[4].Caption = ''
end

if (trtimesecCounter % 3600) // 60 < 10 then
timeadd0[3].Caption = '0'
else
timeadd0[3].Caption = ''
end

counterUsedForGC = counterUsedForGC + 1
if counterUsedForGC>59 then collectgarbage("collect"); counterUsedForGC = 0 end -- every 60 ticks

end
-- enable timer
timer.Enabled = true

Thanks. Does timer.destroy() need to be added only to the timer event or to MenuItem.OnClick and UDF1.OnClose too?
Does caFree need to be added to MenuItem.OnClick events?

Code:

MenuIt[11].OnClick = function(sender)
closeCE()
end
