I'm looking to inspect tilemaps from a couple of SNES games, is there an easy way to do this? I want to avoid using an emulator and doing manual screen grabs if possible. Is there some sort of utility for this? Thanks, MR
You might be hard pressed to do it without an emulator. YY-CHR does a pretty good job of viewing and editing tiles, but you still need a savestate to get the proper palette, and even then it can be a crapshoot. Probably a better option is to use the savestate viewer, VSNES, which allows you to load up the tiles from a savestate. The benefit of VSNES is that it can get past some of the compression issues that you are sure to find in most games.
Then there's always the option of trying to disassemble the game, although that's long, tedious, and useless afterwards unless you release the disassembly or something
