The VG Resource

I skipped the villagers, sheet is full enough:

Yes, this spell is called "Summon Demon", but the Sylphs are not called "Summon Sylph", therefore I made a new icon:

one or two more updates, then I'm through:

I know Luna has some Lazer SFX, but they are not stored in the RAM. Anyway, screen ripping is due to alpha transparency impossible.

okay, this made me laugh :D

Uh... whoops.

Hah, I found the palettes for the battle backdrops:

overlayer: 0/488
ground: 16/490
bg: 0/489

This is enough material to overtake Lunar SSSC, I think.

My first BB's (Batte Backdrops) from this game:

Jamir (progress):

PSX-VRAM is very useful for overworld chars, battle backdrops and tilesets, but this tool fails at battle sprites for monsters and mainchars. It shows only one or two sprites of a mainchar and ONE sprite of a monster.

I wonder if there are some alternatives, I think I will try PSicture.

Smithy had this to say;

Davias seems to think vram fails at battle sprites. He seems to misunderstand that the vram only shows what is currently loaded. Namco only loaded one sprite at a time for their early Tales of games.

yeah, it's not in general. I ripped from other PSX-games and had no problems with battle sprites in combat systems.

But in the specific case of ToP, it fails as a decent ripping tool. I know it's possible to view every single sprite from this game with PSicture, but I am unable to get this tool to work with just a BIN-file on my PC (but it works very well if you have a physical copy of the game).

If there are no alternatives, I have to go the hard way and make quicksaves everytime Jamir makes a different pose. That was easy while I ripped Odin, but Jamir is faster and has way more sprites.

I've already ripped over 25 battle backdrops, I will do the rest in a few days and submit them in a zipped package.

Progress on Jamir:

This sheets needs 5 sprites to be complete, these monsters are not as hard to rip as I thought. I can stop the fights with the menu and slow down the game with Animget, in every case it's easier than ripping the critters from Lunar SSSC or EBC.

Edit:
@Tonberry: Don't forget the stuff from post #17

And some random WIP-stuff from different RAM-files, Evil Sword and Bigfoot looking nice.

Update on the NPC sheet:
http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/6414/npcsf.png
I deleted three NPCs which are already on Smithy's sheets and added Dhaos' correct palette (in his 3rd form he wears a white suit instead of a red one).

And finally, Klarth's summons are now complete:

Edit:
Jamir is a boss enemy, not a summon ;D

You mean a BIN you downloaded? Use Daemon Tools, it'll allow you to make a Virtual CD-ROM drive that you can open up the BIN as you would a physical game.

@Deathbringer:
Cool, I will try that =D
