takumoru signing in! Been lurking around for a good while, big fan of TAS videos. Strongly considering doing a run myself, just need to find the right game and console first =)

Hey, yeah. No doubt, TotY right here. Any good tips on where to start gathering knowledge for doing a N64 TAS? I recently stumbled across this video here and it's been extremely helpful for me to understand NES TASing. Seeing how you didn't mention N64 as one of the "better" emulators, is it really hard to work with or what? I've seen some amazing N64 projects through the years, but I imagine the third dimension being one tough obstacle to tackle.

Sega TASer of 2018
From my understanding, N64 is hard to work with for a few reasons. 1. The analog stick, which has multiple input values associated with it, as opposed to buttons, which have two. 2. 3d gaming. This is harder to handle than 2d. 3. Dealing with the plugins, though that's probably a lot easier than it was in the past. If you still have your heart set on N64, it can be done, but it's a much steeper learning curve than the other systems listed.
