I really enjoy all the TASes that all of you post, and someday I want to make one of my own. Unfortunately I don't have any idea of how to make a TAS. What should I equip myself with before I try a TAS? Are there any programs I should download to work with my emulator? Are there any subjects I should study up on before trying? And where can I find (well organized) info on things like luck manipulation and memory watch? (The game I have in mind to try and TAS is a Genesis game.)

Check out the FAQs, then come back and ask again with a few more specific questions. TASing as a concept is just too big to try and explain where to start in just a single post.

What do you mean? It seems totally simple to me. You just record a movie in an emulator, except you load saves and slow down the game to cheat it up.
put yourself in my rocketpack if that poochie is one outrageous dude

He also asked about memory watch, so that automatically makes things complex. Also, I think that understanding of TASing increases linearly with post count, so you have a 1,562 times greater knowledge than jtay ;)
