Hi, I wanted to try making the last few stages from Street Fighter 3 New Generation and 2nd impact which I believe are the following:

From Street Fighter III New Generation:

Dudley Rainy and Sunny London stage




Necro train stage


Oro cave stage (this isn't the green one from second impact)



2nd Impact:
Elena africa bridge stage Night Time


Now I have Street Fighter 3 Double Impact game for the Dreamcast with me if I need that which includes both games. So can anyone help me out?

Use the arcade version. I don't even know if double impact is emulated for the dreamcast. If you are new to making stages, I wouldn't recommend starting with cps3 games.

Well, can you at least tell me why? Like is there something specific about stages like these that newcomers tend to screw up? I've made some basic stages already (you know just take any bitmap and edit stage 0 to it) so maybe if there's some area in particular I should practice at with those before I attempt these? I'd really appreciate it. I really want to make these stages. And i'll take your advice about the arcade version.

CPS3 games are a bit tough to rip; you can't open them with nebula and disable and scroll layers that way. You either have to know your stuff pretty well(i disabled layers with artmoney for the first one i did), or have access to special programs(I used [e]'s mame hack for the other stages).

And even if you have the special programs, they're pretty tough to use and you still should use artmoney for them. SF3: NG has a lot of errors in the emulation of the stages. SF3: SI stages aren't that bad, but still have a couple of things like random elements and interactive objects. SF3: TS stages have a high color count that you need to be familiar with layer splitting to keep.

And all of them may or may not have inaccurate emulation.
