Heh, maybe I'll get the arcade version's too.

Out of curiosity, anyone know if its possible to view sprites for PC Engine/Turbo Grafx games in anything (YY, TM, that G-something something one, or something else)?

I was thinking of ripping the arcade version of Kiki Kaikai myself. See if I can have a go if I can, if not then I can link you up a tile ripping version of MAME so you don't have to screenshot the tile viewer at the right size.

As for PC Engine games, I had no luck since they have like sprite layers sorta similar to some Amiga and Atari ST games or compressed. I had to do them the old capturing way (for Jackie Chan, I had to abandon Impossimole due to black background and that I'm rubbish at the game). Like you, I'm looking for a easier solution myself.

Anyway great rips and keep up the great work.

Don't worry about MAME (you can do it if you want), I have version 96 and they also have the old versions (any that isn't the newest version) last I checked on the main site.
OK. So PC Engine will have to be done the old fashioned way then, hopefully there isn't too many background elements that are really sprites. And until then, I'll be doing the MSX2 version the hard way because (making a backup to mess with) editing the main character's tiles into a solid block [one of the three layers of the 1-bit plane], and there is absolutely no pattern to how the colors work. So just using my own system of using both tiles and screenshots to figure it out (tiles so I know how big the sprite is, screens so I know what parts are being hidden by background if any (like the road and Sayo's skin, a pit and her hair for another, and there is usually a light blue for shading of her head band and of course water is...).

OK. Thank you Yawackhary and Maneko for the answer to my question.
