This is kinda fun to play with, It will visualize the sprites and the fix layer as the game is playing:
The long lines are sprites:
- grey: not in use
- red: in use, how long the red line shows how tall the sprite is. The giant chunks of red are the background
- green: in use and recently changed. If you look closely there's a bunch of short green lines, which are the players and such
The fix layer is the rectangle down at the very bottom.
The script is here:
To use, you need to launch MAME on the command line: "mame -autoboot_script vram.lua bstars2"
You might want to set more flags, I usually do: "mame -w -nofilter -nomouse -autoboot_script vram.lua bstars2"
The script doesn't totally work correctly with samurai shodown 2 and I have no idea why
