Tile ripping on GBA - Keeavin - 12-22-2014
Hey guys.
So I've noticed a couple sites that show unused sprites from Metal Slug Advance. I've pretty much made it my hobby to rip Metal Slug sprites for my personal satisfaction, even if they've been ripped before. All of the unused sprites were obviously found within the tiles, but I can't seem to find them with Visual Boy Advance's (very basic) tile viewer that seems to only show tiles of what's on the screen at the time. I've looked into a few of the tile programs out there, but it's very daunting and I don't know where to begin. They all seem overly complicated.
Would anybody be able to give me a simple, step-by-step guide on how to properly access all tiles within a Gameboy Advance game? Which program to use, what I need to do to view said tiles, etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
