A little help with Ripping. - VGF

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-31-2006, 12:30 AM

I'm using Codie's tutorial on NC, and it says to "print screen" when I want to save a background for comix. (using ZSNES) . But when it does that, nothing happens. Pressing F1 and "Save Snapshot" doesn't work, either. Could someone please help me with ripping from ZSNES? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -CSM.

You probably need to reconfigure it.

And the "Print Scrn" actually 'copies' the entire screen onto your clipboard. You can paste it out onto MS Paint or whatever you're using.

There's a couple more tutorials on ripping there, as well.

Thanks. I have backgrounds ready now, but how do I get rid of the color that surrounds the sprites (I get the sprites from videogamesprites.net, a site with sprites available for public domain).

Just select the background color as the transparency color.

If you're using MS Paint, right click the back ground color with the dropper. That'll make that specific color the transparency.
