Oh this is awesome. It would have saved me some work ripping the other images from the stage if I'd known about it earlier. I knew there were save-state editing tools around for the SNES that could do something similar, but every one I tried was 16bit and I don't have a VM set up to get them working on Win 7.

Thanks a lot for this, you've saved me a lot of work and there's no way I'd have recognised the individual tiles for this particular background. Not only that, but having a reference for the original width of the parallaxed section will really help with getting the initial values right.

Does anyone have any advice when it comes to ripping parallaxed floors from games?

I'm attempting to rip a floor from a SNES game, but it already has a parallax effect. My first thought was to see if I can find the tiles the old-fashioned way; using a sprite ripper, searching through until I spot the bits that make up that floor and then attempting to rebuild it like a jigsaw. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. With only screenshots of the pre-parallaxed version as a reference it's extremely difficult to identify the correct floor tiles.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Did you just persevere with the above method or is there a technique that helps?
