So, I have this game that I'd like to dump graphics from, but for the largest part of it, I'm stumped. The game in question is "Quiz Bisyoujo Senshi Sailor Moon - Chiryoku Tairyoku Toki no Un", quizmoon is the short game tag thing that MAME uses. The majority of the graphics seem to be in 4 files. The odd thing, to me at least, is the fact that the sprites seem to be divided between these 4 files. Despite the lack of palette and the slight garble to them, you can see that an individual sprite is present in all 4 files, as well as see that there are parts in each not found in the others. See here. What does this mean? Is there any way I can (with help, cuz I'm totally lost) put together a driver for Turaco to dump these? Any help is appreciated. And yes, I do realize that for the most part, no two arcade games are set up in the same way. =S

You should try the built-in viewer thingie in MAME, I know my girlfriend used that to put together several sprites from that game in the past.

Here's a guide for it, works pretty well:  http://www.spriters-resource.com/community/showthread.php?tid=10779

Thanks! I tend to prefer the direct approach, but this is pretty much as good. I have some palette issues with some of the sprites, not really sure what I can do about that.

Some arrow key or pageup/down type key should go through the palettes if that's what you mean.

Oh, it does, and there are tons on the list of palettes... But it only applies so many to the sprites, and sometimes none of them work for a particular set of sprites, even if those sprites are what was displayed at the time you brought up that particular menu. It's odd.
