Hey guys, currently ripping Ogre Battle: The march of the black queen (snes) and i cant find the offset of the in-battle characters in the rom. I checked everywhere but all i could find was the font and some text. I thought i could do without using some pro action replay code to change the characters sprites. However, i cant do it for the enemy party. So, if someone can check it out and find the offset, it would be really appreciated. Btw, the only reason im ripping this is to post it on TSR
Heres my progress:

Rule of thumb: If you can't find it in the ROM, it's probably compressed.

indeed, i thought about this, but wouldnt it be weird that every graphic of the game are compressed? I thought there must be something im not seeing or doing right. however, i did notice that the characters are displayed on the 1st layer contrary to other games...
