NES-Ripper v1.2 (26/4-1998) FREEWARE
-------------------------------------
Codework by: Morgan Johansson
(morgan.johansson@mbox301.swipnet.se)
What is this?
-------------
It is a small utility which enables you to rip graphics
from NES-ROMs and save them as standard IFF-images(!)
How?
----
Use the "Load ROM" button to pick a NES-rom file (Note! XPK-
packed ROMs are not supported!).
Then, if everything is alright, you'll be able to use the
slider in the window. This one allows you to look at the
different CHR-ROM banks present in the ROM file. There are
usually 1-32 CHR-ROM banks in a ROM file, but some games
doesn't have any CHR-ROM at all, like "Legend of Zelda" for
example. In this case, CHR-ROM are stored together with
the PRG-ROM.
Note #1:
It's impossible to set the palette to the correct colours
since they are not saved together with the graphics.
Note #2:
You can use the "Bpls" cycle-button to choose if you want to
watch the graphics using one / two bitplanes. One bitplane
usually looks better on your workbench.
Note #3:
IFF files saved by Nes-Ripper always contain two bitplanes
and with grey colours.
Why should I use it?
--------------------
* It's quite fast!
* It's small! (<18kb!)
* You think it's interesting "poking" inside NES-ROMs? :)
System requirements
-------------------
* An Amiga, probably OS2.04+ or better
* Memory (~16kb)
* reqtools.library
* NES ROMS :)
Bugs
----
Probably. :)
Technical information
----------------------
* All code is written in 100% 680x0 assembly language and is
VERY fast.
* Almost no memory is required since NES-Ripper only
loads the actual CHR-ROM bank which is displayed on the
screen (8kb).
