In honor of Mauve's recent hitbox work and recognizing that someone might want to systematically catalog the hitboxes, I've developed background removal codes for the later Samurai Shodowns and the Last Blade games. (Only ss5sp has a hitbox script right now.)
These are of course also useful for general sprite ripping. As with all NeoGeo games, you can adjust the background color by editing one value.

I don't think I mentioned this before, but you can get rid of the credit count from the bottom of the screen with a setting in the operator menu, as long as the BIOS is not in console mode. That's why I don't bother making the codes remove that text.
I generally try to make the shadows stay on the sprites instead of making them disappear. I feel that with the background gone, the shadows are good for showing the height of attacks by giving a baseline. If anyone wants versions of codes with no shadows, just ask.
After an abnormally long development cycle, MAME 1.43 was released two weeks ago, but still no update on the mamecheat pack yet. (I wonder how much of that is due to me.) I wanted to get these added sooner rather than later because the next chance might not come for months.
