If you need to do a lot of it, I don't know anything about TNZ but most emulators have a built-in programming facility that will allow you to do very fast screen-scraping. I'm guessing most people don't use that feature, because the documentation for the language (whichever it is for each emulator) is usually pretty sketchy, hard-to-find or otherwise wanting. But it can sometimes save you a ton of work - or more likely make possible what would otherwise be so laborious as to be impractical.
