Who wants to be a pal and make/find me an avatar?

Oh ok. I thought you took snapshots of it in MAME. That's why I thought you shrunk it.

You can use the "Fill With Color" tool in paint to just fill/remove the same color in one batch.

I just realized I could do that. I remember I tried doing that with arcade flyers when I cropped out the cabinets on the flyer and I tried to remove the remaining background on the edges of the cabinet image. But when I did that, the "fill with color" tool only barely worked because the image was not pixelated like images of video game gameplay.

The sprites are the same size as if I would have taken the pics myself.

Actually the "fill with color" tool works best when the image is NOT pixelated. A true color image like a flyer is always pixelated as hell (when zoomed).

Look at my example, Super Mario Bros, a simple less-than-256-colors zoomed image. You can clearly see where the character's outline ends and the background beings. Now look at the other image, that's from a scan, which is a true color image (16.8 millions of colors) and you can't tell where anything ends or begins. Those images are a pain to "fill with color" because each pixel is different. You might as well just use the eraser tool.

All scans and photographs are true color. It doesn't matter if you scan or photograph a white paper, when you zoom it, you'll see thousands of white color variants.

Try using that "fill in tool" on a flyer... it's not even worth it, you HAVE to use the eraser tool.

That's what I said...

You were the one that said that the flyers weren't pixelated, which they are.

I meant to say they aren't visually pixelated in regards to how you can see individual pixels in NES games. When I think of an image being pixelated, I think of an image of poor quality where you can see the individual pixels. But every image is technically pixelated ofcourse. The more pixels, the higher quality of the image.

Yep.
