With the "Yabause" Sega Saturn emulator, you can use the toggle layer function to capture just the backgrounds:

It can also be done with the "SSF" emulator (It is older, so i don't recommend it, but just in case there is a rare instance where a game is compatible in SSF but not Yabause)
The best saturn emulator nowadays is Mednafen's Sega Saturn RetroArch core, however, i'm not sure if you can toggle layers on and off, apparently, it can be done by pressing CTRL+1 throug 9: https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/#Section_key_assignments
I just don't know if this applies to the Sega Saturn or Sony Playstation cores.
Also, luckily someone already ripped the chinese game's backgrounds, i was wondering if it could be done, since its made with the "2D Fighter Maker 2nd" fighting game engine, fortunately someone already did:

Many of the stages in KOF 2001 & 2002 are digitized aswell, so they might be useful, i think one of them is even a lift, the italy one:

You can download the stage sprite pack at the bottom of this page: http://dsarena.free.fr//resources/
It's very neatly ripped, not just a picture of the single stage, but individual resources for each, it may come in handy for object sprites or something..
excellent information Nico, thank you very much for the data, right now I see what things I can add to the game, thanks !!!
