Yeah, I could have done that as I'm pretty good with Python but it would have took me a bit longer I think.

And using a python script to create exact crop of each image with the same coords over and over until it's perfect isn't a bad idea either.
This is possible only with games with a few frames. Try to do that on Street Fighter II with the background, scrolling, and all  |
I ripped the Rolling Thunder sprites using the same method because the MAME debugger enables you to switch off the background tile maps, makes things much easier to grab.
I'll see if I can get the entire sprite set and I'll post it here.... give me something to do I guess.
