In the resources section, there is a lua script for a timer, and it's description states that you can't use the x-pos tool or framerule counter during attempts, if I were to use these and PB, would it make the run invalid?

Your not allowed to use a data viewer or lua script that shows data in a speedrun. But you may use the timer but nothing else.

Yes, it would invalidate your run by using those tools because those are things that you can't do on console and original cart. It's intended for practice/experimental purposes.

how do i disable them then?

change the lines "displayFrameruleCounter = true;" and "displayXpos = true;" to "displayFrameruleCounter = false;" and "displayXpos = false;".

how would i do that? Sorry, I'm a noob at lua scripting. All I remember was that I directly downloaded the file. If you could, could you also tell me how to put in my personal best segments too?

just open the script with a text editior and find those lines and change them to what blubber said

here copypaste this script into a text editor:

--this script was written by hubcapp and is based off of i_o_l's timer script --increased functionality is thanks to memory addresses found at http://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros.:RAM_map

--"personalBests" are stored as frames per level, separated by commas in the table above.

--levels are defined as the amount of frames between when mario first takes control (first frame after the black title screen of each level) -- and the end of the title screen for the next level, up until 8-4 where the end of the level condition is shown in the code below (you hit the axe)

--If you're not sure how to find these, it's the number after the time in splits displayed by this script --Leave levels that you are not using for the run equal to 0 (e.g., you could set only 1-1, 1-2, 4-1, 4-2, 8-1, 8-2, 8-3, and 8-4)

--Some examples are below --If you want to try and race against them, uncomment them by (re)moving the --[[ and --]] lines --whichever uncommented table is executed last will be the one active for the run, so you can leave your pb table intact above
