As for missing frames, back then I didn't have an emulator that could run slower or frame by frame, so I was likely to miss a couple.

I was also aware of the more powerful Magic graphics, but I didn't know how to use them in Totally Rad, and the emulator I preferred wasn't able to run Magic John.

Maybe I could cut Jake from my old sheet and just use it as a transformations sheet, provided I double check the frames again. Its been a while.

Use Famicom Ultra (FCEUx) and press the pause button on your keyboard (Not the key assigned to game's controls, the actual Pause button near the insert key on the top right of the keyboard, it will pause the emulator), you can also change the BG color for when the layers are disabled in the config file. (.txt file) At NoBGFillColor and change the original value (for example: 100 = Pink, 155 = Green, or 200 = Brown), or any other than the original, that will allow the sprites to stand out. You can also disable the sprites to get the backgrounds too.

It makes a huge difference and really reduces the hassle of ripping the old games we all love.

Also I noticed a sort of problem with the sheets you released, the white is transparent (R=255, G=255, B=255), this causes color to bleed through when the sprites are used. Change the color to an off white in MSPaint (R=254, G=254, B=254). Famicom Ultra makes the whole bleed through thing irrelevant though

By the way, that red thing he is carrying around is called Wicky.

Nice, but is it possible to remove the overlayed sprites with vSNES? Especially Jack and Chin look like they have separate sprites in their attacks.

Far too late to ask that now... I already advanced past that part of the game

Maybe you should make different folders for your quicksaves. Sometimes you discover that sprites are missing or can be separated and then you can't do anything about it because you have only one quicksave (like me in the past).

Whew! Finally got on top of everything (except Time Zone, I couldn't find any screenshots of the game online for the section icon, so can anyone help me out there?)!

Danke.
Now everything in the thread is up to date.

I got it.
