Title: Get Sprites from a SNES Rom
Post by: Dualnames on Fri 25/06/2010 00:47:22
I'm trying to find a way to properly extract all sprites (tiles don't really bother me), from an SNES game. Something simple would be great. I know there are programs that can do that, but I'm really not aware of them. If anyone can point me out on where to look, or download it'd be great.

The file format of an SNES rom is *.smc (usually)

Clock Tower by any chance, Duals?

Eh, no. Where did you get that vibe?

Here's an article  (http://www.spriters-resource.com/resources/tut/yychr-snes/) that explains how to.

The link to YY-CHR doesn't work but you can find that one here (http://www.zophar.net/download_file/2739).

If it's a specific game, there are lots of resource pages that maybe already have the sprites you're looking for, if it's general, this should do the trick.

You can also look here (http://www.romhacking.net/) for more tools.

Note that some(many?) of the SFC games have compressed graphic data, so getting them from a savestate (as illustrated in the article Leon pointed to) is one easy way, as the tiles are already decompressed in memory when you're playing a game.

Edit: BTW, why is this thread not in the General forum? :P
