So I'm really new to DS TASing (only ever done GBA before, on VBA). I recorded a TAS and unchecked the "start with SRAM" option, and assumed it would begin from power-on without any SRAM (I didn't check if it did). After finishing a level, I went back to replay to test if it synced and it didn't. The movie also didn't play from a power-on state, and I can't delete the battery file to start from nothing while the ROM is active, causing a desync at the very beginning. Is there anything I'm missing regarding DS TASing? Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Don't use versions 0.9.10 or 0.9.11.

Use DeSmuME 0.9.9 to TAS

Weird, DeSmuME is supposed to record and playback from beginning. You should close DeSmuME before delete the battery file. I'm pretty sure it's only because you used DeSmuME 0.9.10 or 0.9.11

I'll try redownloading the emulator, pretty sure I clicked on the 0.9.9 link when I did...
