- 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).
