Turrican - bloody n00b seeks help

[TCD]

Hi there,

I just tried my luck with GfxRip and used Turrican as an example. Made an uncompressed savestate, loaded it, changed the x & y values and this was the result :



Looks like the Turrican sprite to me, so yay! Tried the bitplane setting, like this splendid tutorial suggested and came up with :



which means that 3 bitplanes isn't that far off (I hope).

As you might have noticed I skipped the 'Now, change the Size X&Y, in order to have only one Sprite in ONE box' bit, because when I try that, I just end with a bloody mess on screen again So basically I'm asking anyone who has done it before how I should go from those values (x:16 y:156) to achieve the 'Turrican in one box' result, as I have no idea right now

Edit : Thanks to Leffmann I found the answer why I can't get it to 'work' in GfxRip Turrican uses hardware sprites for the main character. Those are 16 pixels wide and have 2 bitplanes. So for the 32 pixel and 15 colour Turrican sprite there are 4 'pictures' for each frame. Guess I found a way to rip it though

And just for the shits and giggles :

What exactly is that showing TCD?

I would think the sprites are possibe to rip there probably the same format as T2 that have been ripped best ask Cody, Joe Maroni maybe EXL.

Those three screenshots show what happens if you switch off sprite bitplanes in the WinUAE debugger

Well, now that I know how it's done, there's no need for a rip of the main sprite anymore :

And I actually thought, someone needs help with the game...
