    I need some help with Secret of Mana

    Hi everyone.

    I wouldn't normally ask for help on something like this, but I am completely stuck, and what I'm going to ask would really, really help me out.

    I need a way of getting pictures of the locations in Secret of Mana. Every place, preferably without the sprites, monsters, items...anything of that sort, anything that is not part of the natural terrain; these things would only get in the way.
    I would very much prefer not to use an emulator (If I'm not supposed to mention emulators at regardless of the situation, let me know) and take screenshots (I don't have a video capture card as an alternative) of everything and piece it all together, as the amount of time that takes...well, it's not something that would fit it in other things I have to have to do...

    These pictures are of Chrono Trigger, but they should give you an idea of what I'm looking for:



    This picture is of Crono's kitchen. No sprites, just the location. This would represent the kind of location screenshots I'm looking for, only for Secret of Mana. Pandora, Potos, inside the houses, outside, etc. As long as the images are clear, the color being what it should be, being the complete area, that would be great.



    The world map in chrono trigger, from a more distant view.



    ...and a closer view.

    I don't think there's a way to get screenshots of the world map in Secret of Mana considering the multiple views and the way it's utilized, but if somehow possible, that would help greatly.
    What's most important though is the location pictures.
    With the world map that I'm showing here with Chrono Trigger, there's the map from far away and essentially what it looks like inside the game. What would be ideal is to get all location pictures like this, something you might see a see in a strategy guide (far away) and then what is normal (game view).
    It would help a lot if these pictures of the locations could be in a picture format that could be printed out easily without losing clarity or getting distorted.

    Does anyone know of anything that could help me out with this?

        Golly. Now this is a coincedence.

        Kef and I are currently playing through Secret of Mana again and I thought how nice it'd be to have screen shots exactly like what (Anton?) Syvarius is asking for.

        Come on, guys! Help!

          I played both Secret of Mana, and Secret of Evermore again recently.
          Mana felt dated...

          Evermore didn't.

          *gets shot*

            I liked Evermore more than I did Mana, for some reason.

            I found it cute and Charming.

            Boy and His Dog.

            Love that.

              Secret of Mana is kind of hard. Unless I'm just really bad at it. I can't kill Fire Gigas! But, I'd think that an emulator would be the best way to get the maps, since you could just disable the sprites.

                    I need them for something I'm doing.

                    -SirTMagus
                    Who the heck is that?
                    If it's someone trying to be evil/sinister, he's not accomplishing it with rainbow colored atoms behind him.

                    -DYRE
                    I thought about it, but I've ruled out using an emulator and using that method. It wouldn't accomplish what I need within a reasonable time frame.
                    (Good luck with that boss, you might want to try out the magic you have and see if it gives the result you're looking for.)

                    -Toaster 218
                    I've gotten that a lot actually. I've given up explaining to most people because it usually leaves them even more confused afterwards.

                      What does what John Mora said have to do with Skies of Arcadia?

                        That's Dr. Anton Sevarius from Gargoyles, voiced by Tim Curry.

                        He splices DNA with rainbows.

                          Sorry dude, but the easiest way to capture it without sprites is with an emulator. Many emulators have a feature to turn off the sprite layer, as well as other background layers. And take screenshots. And make movies.
