How do I rip my own Mortal Kombat animations?

Say I want to rip a few Mortal Kombat 3 gif animations while using mame. How would I do this? For example, I want to capture Scorpion's spear special movie with each and every frame it contains and then make it into a gif. I just need a method for capturing every frame without having to do it the tedious way - capturing a printscreen screenshot frame by frame. Thanks

Mashing the screenshot button is always the easiest and best way IMO.
Yea, that's not the kind of answer you wanted, I know.

Heres a good method, use the pause button (usually p on your keyboard) and then hold the shift while you hit the pause button. This will take you to the exact next frame of movement. Just keep using shift+p until you find what you are looking for.

Thanks for the tips. But one qustion - when you say mash on the print screen button can you do that and hold multiple screen captures at the same time? All I know is that when you hit print screen, it overwrites whatever file you previously hitted printscreen for and only gives you one frame.

2 more questions: When you pause in mame, the screen dims, how can I do do a clean pause? And is there anyway to get rid of the background and just leave the character sprites on screen so that I can rip them more easily?

No, not the Print Screen button. MAME has a screenshot button, it's usually F12. You can make as many screenshots as you want, and all your screenshots will be saved to the MAME/snap folder.

Some backgrounds make it easier to get the sprites than others. Like if you wanted an MK2 character, you'd be best taking pictures of them on the Pit 2 stage since the Pit 2 has a mainly solid background color. In MS Paint, you can use the paint option to fill in the entire solid area

The Pit 2 in MKII is a great stage for ripping, as is the Pit 3 in MK3. The characters don't have any shadows in there, so you won't get confused with people who have black pants or black shoes (pretty much everyone)
