Good one thinking all lots! A some creatures in Metal Slug Sprite Database, and calling to help you recreating your sheets will soon!

I think I can do that. In fact, there's more enemies that should be ripped in this game...

@LanHikariDS: Really late reply, but I've updated the sprite sheet now, splitting the bottom half and moving to the right side of the sheet. That seems to have fixed it.

As for ripping sprites, yeah, the tileset viewer has tons of palettes you have to sift through to find the correct ones. If you're having too much trouble, just rip something with an incorrect palette and fix it up manually after re-assembling.

@RTB Yes I am using Firefox.

Also, how do you get the sprites out? I've given Kawaks a light look over, but the game has way too many palettes... or Kawaks does, not sure how the tileset viewer does it

@LanHikariDS: Are you using Firefox by any chance? I've noticed the same thing happen for me, and I know it was working fine earlier. Try using the "Download Sheet" option for now.

But yes, I included everything I could for him, including the Zombie sprites.

Is the Tarma sheet not loading for anyone else, or is it just me? Also, Tarma was the only sheet with Snowman sprites, I dunno if it had Zombie sprites, but the other three don't, either.

We're missing Huge Hermit, the Mission 1 boss. (Dai-Manji and Rugname are reused from MS2/MSX.)
