- Some games uses the animated sprites as sprites per set (entities), so you will need to check each game. 3- The Custom MAME method. There is a custom MAME version, made by Maximilianjenus, which let you disable EACH tile on the game. It works great, but its works only with CPS-1, CPS-2 and CPS-3 games, mainly the fighting games.
- I ripped the Rolling Thunder sprites using the same method because the MAME debugger enables you to switch off the background tile maps, makes things much easier to grab. I'll see if I can get the entire sprite set and I'll post it here. Give me something to do I guess.

Pac-Man already has sprites, Tetris doesn't need any, TJs game is the inertia senso no MAME game. I assume johnnywc will finish Rip Off first, before starting into Moon Cresta. Supercat doesn't do ports. Squish'em is no MAME title either and Bob is busy otherwize anyway. Rally X is on hold, so is Superbug I assume. Arcade - The #1 source for video game sprites on the internet!
Please help me!
Is there any better way than rip sprites in Mame as just making screenshots?
I did so until now, but I`m tired of using Paint to resize it and make the background black and so on...
I searched google and found out, that WinKawaks and NeorageX have a built in sprite editor thingie, but NeorageX doesn`t start on WinXP (or have I the wrong version) and Winkawaks doesn`t recognize the rom.
I created a .dat file and run it and the rom through clrmame, but that didn`t work...
Do I have to download the rom again, or is there any program that can be used to rip sprites directly off of a rom?
It`s for my new fenix game
Thanks

Location: Phoenix | So, I'm becoming an F3 system fanboy, and I want to play around w/ ripping some sprites from these games. I've heard that Final Burn Alpha can toggle layers, which would be ideal, but does FBA run in conjunction w/ Mame or what? I downloaded FBA v0.2.95.23 (cm).zip and it's just .DAT files, which I have no clue where to put
Any help would rule.

The way I rip spites is I turn the background layers off and take frame-by-frame snapshots. Tedious, but it works for me. _________________

Speaking of which, undamned, is it possible for you to photograph the cart for that monkey breakout game? Because it sounds totally boss and I probably want one

Location: Tampa, FL | I was talking about emulators in general. Most of them have a feature where you can turn off the background layers so only the sprites show.
Sorry if I confused you. I know nothing about F3 emulation. _________________

Location: DC Area | MAME and FBA are actually entirely separate projects. You should download the emulator from its homepage here. The (cm) in that .zip file name you posted leads me to believe that those .dat files are for a program called ClrMamePro, used to manage rom files for various emulators. I've actually never toyed with Final Burn Alpha, but hopefully it emulates F3, and with sprite/background layer toggling (of which F3 hardware has a large number). _________________

Location: DC Area | F4 is just a tile viewer, isn't it? Maybe it's possible to piece together sprites from that, I have no idea, seems like it would be a hassle to do.
I think the only way to disable layers in F3 (and most other drivers) in MAME is to actually modify the source to not draw the background planes in the F3 driver and recompile MAME... sorry. _________________

Sorry to bring this off topic, but by the look of the instructions, it is supposed to use a spinner, so you have the game and can confirm it will also work with a joystick? http://www.arcadeflyers.net/flyers/kaneko/121001302.jpg [update] Just tried out the rom in mame, yep requires a paddle. Its semi playable with a joystick in mame. I wonder how the paddle connects to the pcb? [/update]

You are one of the sickest hardware guys on the forums, so you should know what's up! Yes, I own the PCB, and yes it plays perfect on my Namco EX1 (yes, the same machine as yours). If you call slow movement 'semi playable' then you should be delighted to know that one of the neatest non-standard breakout clone features, in the game, is a jump button, which allows you to hop across the screen at a greater rate than just standard scrolling. -ud
