When i rip graphics, i tend to just take snapshots and use them to make anything like that. |

If you can't find them in the ROM...

they're definatly there though...I have hacked DKC (poked around in the rom anyways) and so has my half-sister (quite extensively), I can vouch that it should be there...its not going to be there right away, you need to search a bit...and its layed out really weird, but the first noticeable thing should be the plamtrees or characters even. |

What type of DKC Rom do you have, because it's all compressed for me.
Maybe you are looking in the wrong area. I don't think there would be two vcersions of a game with a difference that trivial. Try bit shifting or whatever. |

Not really, because you can shift the data manually (and in a seperate file if you please),... it takes a little more time that way, but not by much (unless you're doing it for the whole game). I've never used it with all of the Gfx work that I've done  (didn't seem limited to me that way). |

TLP, YY-CHR, and (I'm fairly certain) Tile Molestor all let you shift. They would be pretty limited otherwise, dontcha think? |

emm, haven't really looked into that yet (I may have seen it one of them, if so that was a long time ago) |

Err... Atma, do you realize that every editor I know of lets you byte and bit shift? |

Well what do'ya know. That's a rare occasion. Also know that the Graphical data is not placed in a way that'll get displayed properly in the Tile, in every area of the game. If graphical data starts on an even Addess (XXXXEX : E=Even), it will be displayed with in one Tile,... if it starts on an odd Address (XXXXOX O=Odd), it will be displayed with in two Tiles. The reason for this is because each Tile is 32 Bytes,... and this is all assuming that Nintendo placed them at Addresses that end in XXXXX0,... otherwise it won't look right at all by the way the current Tile Editors are displaying them.
Edit: Ok, you can shift the display of the Bytes in most Tile Editors (or you could organize the data yourself,... which would take a while). |

I didn't rip it, I copied each individual 8x8 tile by:
1. taking a screen shot of the GFX
2. copying each individual 8x8 tile pixel by pixel
3. setting the animation
I was able to copy it because it only takes one 16x16 tile
And by the way, what do you think about my hack, email or post your answer

I thought you ripped the rain in your hack from DKC.
They're compressed, that means, you can't rip them. |

I would like a way to rip the GFX out of donkey kong country because the gfx won't show up in a tile editor like YY-CHR or Tile Layer Pro. It just gives me a bunch of random pixels.
Question: Did you set it to snes 4bpp
Answer: yes |
