Also, easiest way to make these is to use an emulator where you can remove sprite layers.

What emulators are you guys using to do this?
I want to do a couple of Donkey Kong Country ones, but the it has like 10 backgroud sprite layers and I cant figure out how to disable them in Snes9x or Zsnes?

[B]This still looks great, but wasn't the ground originally reddish-purple?

The NES Battletoads was red, that one's a cap from Battlemaniacs on SNES.

like that?

Nope, he's referring to the Link to the Past wallpaper. It was an awesome paste together map of screenshots from every outdoor screen in the SNES zelda 3.
It even had death mountain inset into the top right hand corner.

If anyone has this, please share. It would be a heap of effort to put together.

Needs more Donkey Kong Country up in this house.

This is what I've got so far, going to take a while to cut out all the base background and layer the more detailed ones back in, but the result should be sweet.

bunch of screenshots + put them together in photoshop.

That's pretty much it.
Some things that make it easier:

*Disable sprites and various background layers (the number keys 1,2,3,4 & 5 in ZSNES).

*Google for some gameshark/gamegenie whatever cheats that will make it easier to collect the screens you need.
Invincibility, Unlimited Time, Super Jump etc. Or you could just use your own mad skillz.

*Patience.

I made this awhile ago for something else so it isn't the correct ratio but it looks OK stretched. There are also 6 different Links in the picture. Can you find them all?

That's awesome, are you the one that made the whole link to the past world map? Im still unable to find it.
I swear it was posted on these forums a month or so ago.

Okay, I finally finished my DKC captures, I tried to do too much of the level not considering that it wouldnt fit.
I think the top one is the better of the two. If anyone would like an extension of the top one for dual montiors, say the word.

Wow, great job Lurchdog, that came up really nice.

Povrayman, could you change my links to .jpg instead of the png (same file names, lowercase) for the first 2 updated versions (fixed some minor patterning at the bottom).
