Ripping Genesis Sprites through YY-CHR

[Davy Jones]

Even when I tried hacking that game, it still gives a black background.

Once upon a time, I had a similar problem with PSX-VRAM and the portraits from Lunar SSSC. They used black and the background of VRAM was also black, I couldn't do anything about it.

Then I discovered that you can make two screenshots, one with correct colours and one with a wrong palette (no black in the sprites) to get the outlines. I put them on a neutral sheet, recoloured the outlines of the wrong-coloured sprites back to black and laid the correct colour sprites on them.

Problem solved. By the way, all this knowledge about compression routines, modified emulators and work-arounds should be available to public when the new TSR launches and we start overworking the tutorial section. There are so many tricks people don't know, it would be a waste keeping it in the forums.
