technical request; wondering if anyone's willing to help

[Rosencrantz]

it's not so much of a sprite request as it is a "does anyone know how to do this" thing

you see,
I want to try again at ripping the sprites from Fire Emblem 4 (Seisen no Keifu for you fans of the game), but the game's all compressed and stuff so Tile Molester won't help or anything


then a thought occurred to me:
is there a debug room in that game?

I haven't found much information on it, and I'm wondering if any of you have any idea how to access it (provided that it's still in the ROM !!)


If nobody knows how to do this, then I pose an alternative question:
in ZSNES and/or SNES9x, is there a way to change the background color so that when you remove backgrounds, it isn't all black? The sprites use full black as an outline, so I lose a good portion of the sprite every time I do that :/
