Ghostbusters (GEN)

[Ton]

Ok, trying to finish this game up. I've got a bunch of new sheets in the works and I'm updating some others. I wanted to finish by Halloween, but...

Basically, I want to remove the effects from the Proton Packs. When the weapons are equipped, the tip of the gun has a different graphic on it. I'd like to remove that effect altogether. But I suck, so I can't.
This is really the last huge obstacle I have left here. Any help would be great.

Updated one for progress.

See if this works: in Gens11b go to Graphics, Layers, then on whichever layer the effect is on click Swap Scroll (or Sprite, depending) Layers. That'll swap Scroll/Sprite A and B.

Not sure if it will help at all but it was a miracle with ripping certain parts of Puggsy, so it might help here, I dunno. It's worth a shot anyway. Also maybe other emulators can do this too, I just use Gens11b.

This is why I love you.

Tried to put some of it together, there's some pieces I'm confused by. Mind finishing this off, Ton? Don't worry about crediting me or anything, I didn't do much.

edit: appears I put one of the heads with the wrong person? I don't know how I did that?

[Ton]

You did? Which one?

You will also need the castle event sprites (Possessed)
- Possessed Palette
- Being freed from Possession (Open mouth with head facing up) Ton already has on sheet as example
- Speaking to ally (Character faces Ally after being freed)
- Character being spoken to (Ally facing player after being freed)

I took another peek at the ROM and found this:



So anything else has to be done with screenshots or tileripping savestates.

The possessed sprites are actually arranged differently, so it's not just a matter of recoloring. I checked.
So I have everything but the "being talked to" sprites. Here it is so far:

Ok, brief update:

-Just need Egon and Ray's newspaper sprites.
-Have to beat the castle to see if there's a newspaper headline.
-Need the map after the earthquake.
-Need to buy the body suit forcefield so I can get those sprites.
-Got Egon's "Facing Buster" sprite.
-Turns out the Possessed GBs ARE just palette swaps and I'm a dope. Woo!

[Ton]

Hmm, if someone could get a savestate of any Buster except Peter at the Castle, I'd be eternally grateful. I don't wanna play the whole game again.

UPDATE!
-Still need Egon and Ray's newspaper stuff, but that'll be pretty simple.
-Got the final newspaper headline. Need to beat the game to check for a final one and see the ending.
-Finished the forcefield and final weapon.
-Also got Ray's "facing" sprite. Just Peter is left.
-Added possessed palette to GB sheet.

What other savestates do you need?
