Lawnmower Man SNES/Genesis: Virtual Worlds - Keenfan1990 - 08-05-2025
Hello there! As you may or may not know, I've spent the last few months ripping the Lawnmower Man games for SNES, Genesis, Gameboy, and Sega CD. Although most of it is relatively self-explanatory, there is one section I'm having trouble with. The SNES and Genesis versions both have these "Virtual World" sections where you're flying Superman-style through these cardboard cutout-looking landscapes. I have come to inquire if it is actually possible to rip the scenery from these sections, as I'm having no luck with either version. The "cutouts" don't appear anywhere in the CHR-ROM tile data, and trying to use the nametable/PPU viewers results in them being extremely stretched out and suffering from inconsistent pixel sizes due to the scaling. Is there a way to actually get these sections into a usable state, or is it a lost cause?
And before anyone asks, these parts do not utilize Mode 7. I've also attached images to try and illustrate my plight.

These virtual worlds look like hardware effects of the SNES, which makes them unrippable.

Oh well. At least I know for sure now.
