I would like to archive some sprites from plug & play consoles and handheld consoles with AV out (or at the very least a clear screen). What I was thinking about doing was getting a video of game play (that was taken with a capture card or similar device (if possible)), converting the video into a series of images, and ripping the sprites manually. The reason why I choose to do it this way is because I am mainly focusing on non-emulated bootleg consoles (both hardware and software emulation is a no go). Anyway, before I go through the trouble of doing all that I was wondering if there was a better way to do this. By the way, I'm planning on putting the rips on my own site, because I'm not sure if The Spriters Resource is the right place for these kinds of consoles or rips (prove me wrong and I'll gladly attempt to submit it here).
Well, from my stand point I think it would be fine to submit plug and play consoles. My concern about that is how the categories would be set up, like would there be a console simply called "plug and plays" with the games being each individual plug and play console and all the sheets are just the individual games or would there be multiple console listings for each plug and play?

This is also a similar deal with those "hong kong original" systems such as the Game King or the Terminator 1.8.
