You have to be way more specific with which console and game you want to rip from. Most programs only work for certain consoles, and even then only some games can have sprites ripped from them. In most cases you'll probably have to rip using an emulator and taking screenshots.

Also, I don't think any program will arrange sprite sheets for you. You'll have to make them yourself using something like Paint.NET, GIMP, or Photoshop.

Hi, I'm looking for a program to rip sprites from Commodore 64 games. Actually I'm interested on ripping the sprites from International Karate.

Hmm, I dunno much about ripping sprites from Commodore 64 games. However, after some Googling I managed to find out that you can rip sprites by doing this:

Download CCS64, and emulator for Commodore 64 games, and install it. Get a ROM of the game somewhere. Play the game up to the point where the sprites that you want to rip are. Save a save state.
Now download C64ripr. Open up the save state file with this program. You should be able to rip sprites from there.

Unfortunately I haven't done this myself so I can't really give you any more detailed instructions than that. If you need any help with a certain bit you can probably find it on Google. The sites where you downloaded the programs from will most likely also have some help on how to use them.
