So could you explain the process you are going through to get teh graphics.. i have access to photo sho, just wondering how you are doing it and then i can give it ago..  yeah magenta is good, its a colour that the graphic doesnt use so i can easily set it to be the transparent background, either that or putting then on a transparent background would be fine aswell then i can add different background layers

ah. bummer.   I opened it in mednafen.  You can see "some" stuff, but its all jacked around.  If that is even Tonma.  Broken into pieces.

awacks the master of rippin' stuff anyway. ;-D

awack FTW

if i had to guess , aren't you screen grabbing on a per-frame basis, with the background layers all turned off so all you see is sprites?

and then copy pasta to photoshoop and away you go?

A quick tip - if you find it too much hassle to try and keep pausing/screenshotting for certain frames, use Fraps (or similar) to record some video, then load it up into a program like VirtualDub and copy the frames you need straight out of that.

Besides the Pixel Warehouse web that has been mentioned previously, there are other webs with several ripped sprites of many systems (although the PCE is m¡noritary). For example you can try:

http://www.spriters-resource.com/   
http://sdb.drshnaps.com/

The last link has the sprites of Dragon curse or Neutopia II of the PCE.

Yep, but the key is having the right emulator, you need one with an, advance one frame at a time function.

I just  ripped, nearly the entire game in 30 minutes, thats the easy part.

Here are a few more.

well yeah, the "advance frame" button is kind of implied.  :-D

maybe you should start a site with all the sprite sheets and stuff.  Its not like you dont already have a jillion from all the screen compares.

You should definately do this, it seems a waste to limit them to forum threads that might get lost in a few months/years.

Ah, my mistake, back in the old days all you had was the pause button.


About the sprite rips and their own site, i might do that some day, an interesting side note, the whole reason i started screenshot, sprite rips and versus threads was because forum post/activity took a nose dive a while back, so i tried to bump up the activity a bit with threads i thought people might be interested in.

[Arkhan]

id say you did a fine job Awack.

Rips are great, thanks alot, will give me something to play with.. a site dedicated to PCE rips would be excellent, Magical Chase is another id like and r-type but will play around with this.. if you think there are more graphics in teh game then let me know thanks alot.. most apprecaited..  background rips would also be very useful, but not sure how easy or hard that would be
