How to trigger some sprites/textures to appear?

Post by JiN88 »

It comes to no surprise that some sprites are unloaded and can be looked through the save states and PSX-vram. I have some questions regarding them and how to make them appear in game normally.

I'll just paste some links from the sprites resources website since they seems to be most organized.


I came across this but I don't think anyone has mentioned it before; it belongs in the room where Jowy poisoned the King:

There seems to be sorta 2 figures (woman and death) resting on a nest that looks like they belong on top of a doorway. I did double check using vram and it's also there. I looked though all of L'renouille map and got nothing


Magic the Gathering and Nightmare:

I think this is well known but I don't anyone has mentioned how to get the card back to appear.

Jillia's supposed to be conscious when being sacrificed?:

Using vram I did catch the whole sprite sheet of Jillia's being sacrificed but in one frame she's supposed to have her eyes opened? Was there another point ingame that she's looking like that (Top right corner, 2nd down)

In the demo ending below, there are 4 maids surrounding Riou. Pressing anything will fade to black to the main menu, or wait a while and VIki and Mukumuku will do their skit before the fade out.

Anyone has any idea what's the purpose of having Riou surrounded by 4 lovely maids?

They will just be unused sprites, and if so there will be no way to make them appear normally.

Gensopedia agrees that the Magic card back is not visible in-game:

Jillia wasn't sacrificed, and the dummy doesn't open it's eyes. Maybe they toyed with the idea of having the dummy with it's eyes open, or, less likely, only decided to make the sacrifice fake after the sprites had been drawn up for a real one.

Riou's just completed the demo, maybe demo-Riou felt the world owed him something at that point.

Upon further testing with the English Demo I seem to be able to get only 3 maids to appear (The one on the top is missing). There seems to be some variable influencing their appearance.
