I know quite a little to how to retime a run but I don't know how speedrunners who use an console (ex. Darbian,Kosmic,somewes) know their time and their exact frame.
You can find the timing resources on the resources page: https://www.speedrun.com/smb1/resources

I've been meaning to make a video tutorial explaining all of this as a lot of people don't understand it that well.
