Hi All,
I'm Abe and it's my first post. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to remove the background of these sprites or unify the backgrounds into one color. I looked at the hard ripping and GBA tutorials but this issue, much like the Gameboy itself, is not covered. The problem is I can't simply erase the background because changing it compromises the look of the sprite. Included are examples of the games in question in both Gameboy (JPN) and Gameboy Color variants (Please click on each one to get a good view).
These are static sprites and are from screenshots during encounters. Images were scaled up for this post; originals are at proper scale and in .png. In this example, if I were to make the full background black you lose the left leg of the monster. changing it to white just looks like a mess. This issue is present in all of these encounter sprites some more severe than others.
All of these images are trimmed down as shown and I was ready to make sprite sheets (GB & GBC) for submission in hopes of preserving the images. Aside from the main character there isn't much imagery available for this game on the site. I would hope that anyone that wanted to use these sprites can modify the backgrounds as they see fit. Anyway, I just wanted to know if this was allowed before putting any more effort into this.
Thanks.
