Sprite project
Yes, I know this has virtually nothing to do with rom hacking, but it's almost on the same topic.
For probably over a year now I been wanting to make a full-blown Pokemon RPG through RM2k(or 2k3). In the end it would probably be almost exactly like how the PMDs are right now: basically an RPG with nothing but pokemon.
Anyways, I was very thrilled when I discovered about the Mysterious Dungeon games, because of the fact it featured every pokemon that currently existed, and they were the perfect style of sprites that could be used in an oldskool Final Fantasy-ish format of a game. So now my current problem is..... getting those sprites.
Those who have done "chara hunting" before for RM programs should know what I need: basically rips of sprites walking up, down, and to the sides. I tempted it before with a Japanese rom of the red game and doing it from scratch(by using screenshots). I almost got it, but it'll take forever if I continued this way. Or just by myself at least =/
So... What I ask is: Does anyone know of a site that has already gone through the painful hassle of doing complete sprite rips? Or if maybe a possible hack out there that could export the sprites completely from the rom itself? ..... Nothing else is there at least gameshark codes out there so that I can try to get all of them x_x
