Sprite ripping through tile viewers?

Hi all,
I recently found something while looking at MEKA's tile viewer while playing Quartet. You know how the character portraits pop up during the results screen? Well the tile viewer shows a bunch of what looks like animations, like Mary smiling or Edger taking his glasses off. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out a way to trigger these animations and neither does the internet. So I tried using a program called "Tile Molester" which despite it's awful name is a great graphics viewing tool. I chose it over Master Tile Converter because you can change the viewer window size to make it assemble small portrait graphics. Unfortunately with it though, I cannot seem to find the right codec input to make the graphics "correct". What settings do I need to get it set up correctly? Do I need a specialized file to do this? |

It depends on what compression is used for the tiles. You may find it easier just to screenshot the tile viewer and reassemble manually. | |

Not exactly. Here, let me show you an example of these "portraits" The tiles aren't exactly sorted in an even way. |

Nice find!
Does Double Target behave any differently in term of animation? (some still shots here: http://bto8.smspower.org/segapower/1314/index.html) Perhaps when changing the characters for the Western released they broke or removed animations? As per your picture linking to a Discord host, Please see: http://www.smspower.org/forums/17232 |

Oh, it is possible to get the animations to play?
By collecting more medals? How do you do that? |

Looking at some videos, it seems to be an animation sequence played when the rank goes up. The manual says rank is gained by getting a high score.
Here's some examples: https://youtu.be/OBPwfwMiP20?t=448 https://youtu.be/BHxs2Bw4hrk?t=192 https://youtu.be/4giyDICtac8?t=359 Maybe there's an animation per rank, I didn't find them all. |
