What kind of initiative would be required? I wouldn't mind starting a project like this.
The initiative is clearly annoyance as it's what caused me to make this little gem a couple months ago

I think some of you are kinda overreaching or making overly specific stuff. Here's a suggestion/observation: The folk who are most in need of the info are absolute beginners. Once you reach a certain level of proficiency in any field, you can explain your questions more clearly and already often know where to go for answers. By that time, you're maybe part of the community and don't feel shy about fielding those questions. I can only presume it's the same for TASing. Maybe there's already a fair bit of info out there? In the emulator manuals, other stuff that's been written... As a newb, what I'd really appreciate most would be some pointers to how to start. What emulator should I use? Is there a website that covers this in an informed way? Maybe just link it! How do I start 'recording' my play-throughs, re-recording and using frame advance? If that's already eplained in the manual, maybe just link that and (if you're feeling kind) point us to the relevant sections/chapters. If this info exists, just having it as a sort of 'recommended reading' would be really useful. Not that I expect to do any TASing over the next year but it's certainly something I'd like to better understand. Being able to TAS a Snes well-based 'puzzle' game seems like it'd be a hoot.
I'm just some random guy. Don't let my words get you riled - I have my opinions but they're only mine.

I started it, it will cover everything from the very basics to hex editing but it will take a while because I'm doing SotN as well.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate
