I know it's possible to use Kawaks to rip sprites from games, but is it possible to view the hitboxes/priority of attacks, as well? If not, then what's a good way to gauge the priority of attacks?

Thanks for your time.

You could find anything with Artmoney. Hitboxes will be difficult to find. Priority may not.

Depends on the game. Some Neo*Geo games have a built-in collision box viewer, accessible via dipswitches. Dunno if any provide easy access to priorities, though.

I'm playing around with Garou (non prototype) at the moment. Are there any FAQs on what switches to set to use that collision box viewer?

(And also...what is Artmoney?)

Artmoney lets you see and compare the values allocated on the stack for a particular program.

Non prototype version of Garou doesn't have the collision box viewer anymore.

Get the prototype, in Kawaks go to game/NeoGeo settings/debug dipswitch menu. Also might enable the developer mode while there. DIP 1-8 should be the viewer.

Assuming you're talking about Garou: Mark of the Wolves:
I believe the dipswitches don't work in the release version, so you'll need to use the prototype for checking collision boxes and axes. 1-7 appears to just display axes, while 1-8 also displays the clsn boxes. Messing around with the other switches might be a little helpful too; they'll let you see the current anim number, move number, and some other stuff. And fortunately, the release version of MOTW provides a practice mode that lets you view precise damages.

Anyway, good to see someone who cares about accurate clsns and priorities working on a MOTW character. :)


Edit: Argh, 2 minutes too late!
