I'm trying to rip the sprites of a MAME game (Wonder Boy Monster Land), but all every tutorial says is "just use the tile viewer".
Due to the way the protagonist holds his sword and other equipment, there is absolutely no way to rip his sprites through normal gameplay.
This is literally every single tile in the tile viewer. The [ and ] keys do nothing, it really is every tile. Notice an abscence of any sprite in general (literal sprites, those are all background tiles). I also opened each one of the ROM files for the game in YYCHR and couldn't find anything that's not in the tile viewer.
1 - Is there a way to view this game's sprites in the tile viewer or similar program? Why doesn't it work?
2 - Is there a way, in any arcade emulator, to disable specific sprites so that I can properly rip the ones I need? For example, I'd only disable the sword so that I could see the character.
