Sprite capturing

Post by Phil12 »

Anybody good with this? I'm still trying to get the hang of it. I'm trying to piece together Player 1 shooting in Contra 3 as my first attempt.

have you tried ripping directly from a ROM? or are you capturing your gameplay via an input device?

I didn't know you could rip directly from a rom at all. How do I do that? I was trying to compile snapshots into one file.

Some emulators allow you to turn off certain layers. Turn off all the layers except the one the character sprite is on, and then print screen (or take a screenshot)

you could just get some tracing paper out and place it over the screen and copy the dots...

Class. When I was doing my art A Level, I projected these sonic sprites from a brazilian pirate game onto a huge canvas, and spend days rendering every pixel. It was good stuff. Very garish :)

Oh. I forgot to say I'm trying to make it animated, which from reading the tutorials, is a bit trickier.
