Sprite Ripping Project 4: 2-D Fighting Games

[Davy Jones]

I'm planning on ripping Variable Geo 2 for the PS1. I don't have a PS1 emulator yet. Can someone suggest one? I'm hoping its as friendly as winkawaks.

Emulator: epsxe 1.7 & 1.6

1.7 is the latest version, but some games like Tales of Destiny don't like it (disabled controls), it also can't change discs. Quicksaves of both versions are compatible with VRAM.

Tool: PSX-VRAM:

I guess this tool is not very friendly with fighting games, I had heavy problems with ripping from Guilty Gear because PSX-VRAM just shows 1 single sprite from the fighters in his quicksaves. The major sprites you can find in the saves are backgrounds and SFX. I have no idea if it's the same with Variable Geo 2.

Another thing: If you have the original CD in your collection, you can try PSicture. Some games show you all of their sprites with correct palettes, it's worth a try.
