Is there a way to easily extract sprites from SNES roms? The coomer in me needs some full spritesheets from Hissatsu Pachinko Collection 3 (必殺パチンココレクション3) but I can't seem to learn how to extract data and no one online has extracted full spritesheets of all the coomer content in this game.

As a former sprite editor, I have to break the bad news to you: no, such a tool doesn't exist and never will because sprite data is only stored as blocks, not as the full sprite.
The only way you could get what you want is by simply playing the game, pausing it and then toggling off the graphics layers using the numbers 1-4 on your keyboard and then saving a screenshoot, and so for every sprites and graphics you want to save. Then you can open Paint, create a big blank canvas and manually copy/paste each saved sceenshoot there.
That's how spritesheets are created.

>"But what if a extracting program..."
Magic sprite extracting programs that give you full spritesheets by merely pushing a button do not exist.

>> No.8720849

use zsnes wich allows you to disable individual background layers, take screenshots and use lots of save states to save time like >>8720787 said there's not much else to it, viewing tiles and sprite block by block is tedium but it can yield unused sprites, i ripped a bunch of sprites for the spriters resource so i share the pain

Ugh, I resigned from that place because I couldn't deal with Dazz's asshatery and the invasion of autist members anymore.

>>8720614
OP, the main hurdle is that graphics data is usually compressed, unless if it's used all the time (like for a player character's graphics). this means that searching the ROM directly will likely only net you a small amount of recognizable graphics and a bunch of random static.

to get at the graphics efficiently without having to reverse engineer the decompression routine you have a few options.

first, note that any graphics that are displayed on screen are uncompressed in video memory (VRAM). you can dump the PPU settings to figure out where to dump VRAM to get at your graphics.

secondly, backgrounds and objects (sprites) are displayed different. backgrounds use a background map to lay out the characters (8x8 graphics) and their palette. you need both the BG map, and the characters, and color generator memory (CGRAM) to fully decode the graphics. the map and characters are in VRAM, and CGRAM is its own special memory.
objects are specified with object attrubute memory (OAM) which is also its own special memory. it specifies what character to use, where to put it on screen, palette, HV flipping, priority, and size. the object character graphics are also in VRAM and palette in CGRAM.

what you can do is wait for a graphic you like to be on screen. if it is an object, you can the graphics from VRAM and dump OAM to exactly reconstruct a sprite. note that sprites are composed of a lot of objects moving together, and while how sprites are defined by the game is different from game to game, the way it has to get mapped onto OAM is the same, so it's possible to recover sprites without knowing any assembly.

backgrounds are easier because you don't have to piece them together one character at a time, the map in VRAM tells you everything.

it would help to know how computers work and something like C to make your own tools to accelerate the process.

lastly, all of this assumes you have access to a debugging emulator.

What you're looking for OP is most likely not "sprites" but backgrounds though. But this is your best solution for noob friendly extraction. The only drawback is that if you have to see the things you want to extract in real time, aka playing the game, and that if some background image mixes sprites & background tiles all in one, you're gonna have to combine them manually. Not really a big deal

>>8721040
>if some background image mixes sprites & background tiles all in one, you're gonna have to combine them manually.

or, in the case of SNES, the background image uses several bg layers at once like in my example pic, but again photoshop layers being a thing it's not a big deal

You are just making things way too complicated when there's no need for that.
This is what you can do by simply disabling graphic layers and using the emulator's in built screencap grabber.

SNES VRAM isn't a frame buffer. the way the graphics are constructed may hide details in the graphics that screenshoting can't uncover. for instance, in super metroid samus' sprite is composed of several overlapping objects. you can't see what's underneath parts of her sprite because you can't selectively disable objects on any emulator that i'm familiar with.

sprite sheets are usually cobbled together from people taking screenshots of everything they see. really they should be constructed out of the sprite and animation data directly, because you'll probably miss things if you brute force it with screenshots. it's a matter of taste what you prefer at the end of the day, but sometimes you get pleasantly surprised if you have some technical knowhow and go the extra mile.

You can do that if you want to, but this game in particular can be ripped without any complicated tools.
Before you start ranting again, I used to rip graphics and textures from several systems using Tile Molester and some games are practically unrippable because the graphic data is fragmented to kingdom come, so the layer disabling and screencapping system is the only way that can work.
That's the reason why some games have never been fully ripped (or ripped at all) even after nearly 2 decades..
