Hi! I want to make TAS of Pokemon Yellow that involves save corruption, but you need to reset the game to corrupt saves. I've seen people reset during a TAS and I want to know how they did it.

By default TAStudio hides the Power column, which is used for hard resets. This can be changed by simply going into the Columns tab and clicking Power there. Note for traditional TASing, hard resetting is only possible in Gambatte; (Sub)GBHawk must go through TAStudio to do a hard reset.

on Gameboy it also works with A+B+Start+Select at the same time (might not be the reset you want though)

That's the typical combination for a soft reset (which not all Gameboy games actually implement anyways, and they might even have some different combination), and Yellow save corruption requires a hard reset.
