Ripping WL3 sprites (lots of unused sprites found)

Okay, those sprites look amazing! Great job there!

Not sure what's next though. Maybe some tilesets and backgrounds from the game?
 
Next is the world map with all its animations and changes, then tilesets, then the missing intro and outro sprites... then some menu sprites maybe... until the entire game is ripped! :sgrin:

The only difference I've noticed so far is that some high-pitched sounds don't sound right on VisualBoyAdvance.

You can use this to get an idea what accuracy is with emulation; http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/Emulation_Accuracy

Basically it's how true it is to the original console/handheld. It can be a large number of things. VBA does GBC games with low accuracy and still has a lot of issues with other GBA games as well (Wario Land 4 is a good example).

Sounds good. Wonder what Wario Land game you're moving to after that's done?
 
Oh, one more thing. Can you also post some of the sprites in the gallery here too? We should always have any possible Wario Land sprites on the warioforums.com domain as well as TSR and MFGG.

Sure, I can do that when all my sheets are complete.

Not sure. That heavily depends on where my motivation goes. :STongue3: I'm only doing all this because the lack of WL3 stuff gave me motivation to step up and do something myself.

I really love these charming edits you're doing for the information tabs. :D
Thanks. :sgrin: Yeah I feel like every sheet needs one of those. It's like a signature. I feel a bit bad that one of my biggest sheets just has a Wario sprite but I was too tired and there was not enough room to make a proper edit. Oh well. Maybe if I have to make another addition.

That's amazing! VforVictory:
Thanks! :Sx3:

By the way, this is what the east map would've looked like in the beginning if there was daytime.

Guys! Guys! I need help! I can't concentrate on these sprites anymore, I've been looking at them for days so I'll need you to tell me if I missed any world map sprites!

Whoa this looks amazing, can't blame you for the concentration wavering, sounds to me you need a little break. Don't wear yourself out! DumDumDum:
 
I personally can't see any you've missed, though there's always the possibility you missed a tide frame or something.

Looks good either way though!

All world map background animations only ever have 4 frames so.... no.

Something interesting, outside of the visible area of the map there are unused map sections, probably early versions that were scrapped but I guess were put there just in case...

Huh, looks like desert ruins was just desert at one point.

This second one has what seems to be a failed attempt at making the forest of fear. It's just a jumbled mess of tiles.

Also here's the final sheet.

Last chance to add something before I upload it...
Edit: Too late, I submitted it.

Looking good! Maybe I'll add the beta sprites to TCRF at some point as well, given their page on this game isn't exactly the most detailed:

That would be appreciated.
Here they are again for your convenience.
Remember, the gif of the Vampire Wario is just a guess. I don't know how the sprites would actually have been put together.

I know of the Vine Glitch that happens in Wario Land 3.
But what problems does Wario Land 4 have with VBA?
I'd like to know, since I plan to LP the game someday, and emulation is the only way I can record my gameplay.

You will probably be just fine but off the top of my head the game lags in more places compared to it's Wii U VC and original counterpart (An area in the jungle comes to mind). It occasionally has audio hiccups as well. It's nothing major, the other minor stuff wouldn't bother you (has faster loading, but that's technical stuff for those who TAS/speedrun).

but it's not bad, just a small annoyance.

Does anyone have a save file/savestate file for WL3 with the last golf course unlocked? I don't wanna have to get all the music coins again...
Edit: Nevermind, got it already.
