Ripping Questions
I'm using iDeaS and animget to rip sprites from Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, but there are some effects that I'd like to get that are semi-transparent. Since it's overtop the background and other sprites, you can see those through it. Is there any way to eliminate that, and just get the translucent part? Disabling the layers doesn't work btw, since the offending sprites are in the same layer as the sprites I'm trying to rip.

hi, i am new here. i just saw this thing called "mobile jack" and i want to ask if there is an emulator for this console (im not sure)

i want to play these games and rip sprites from some games of this kind.

here is an example game for mobile jack (the link has no download link, its just a description but in japanese language so i think its ok to post it)

another 2 questions:
1. for GBA, is there a way to hack the rom itself cuz i tried using the animget method but my problem is the char that i want to rip is too big and some parts of its head cant be seen in the screen.
like this:

Game: Shaman King: Master of Spirits 2
Chars im trying to rip: Spirit of Fire and Zeke Asakura

2. for DS, is there also a way to change the default background color after i turn off the layers aside from black? and i used desmume but the char sprites and the lifebars are in the same layer. i might as well would like to hack this rom to get the sprites but how do i hack it? this picture below when i change the black color the sandals of natsu is also black so its gone when i change the black to something else. help please.

Sprites im trying to rip: All sprites (chars and backgrounds)

Let me see...

The game you are looking for is for Japanese mobile phones. While American mobile games are easy enough to rip in some cases, the Japanese ones got some hardware lock that don't let us to even copy the rom to the computers, not alloying us to rip. Also most game you got to pay a monthly fee, and when you're playing the game constantly sends and receive feeds to confirm you're paying your bill and game-wise material like music and sprites (basically: the game isn't whole in your mobile). So, yeah. Tough luck

1- In that case, sorry but you should try tile molester or similar program
2- Hmmm... No as far I know.

thanks. guess having sprites from those "mobile jack" games would remain a dream.

for number 1, tile molester is for hacking the game itself?
for number 2, how do people rip from DS aside from the animget method (which is annoyingly very tedious lol)
i would like to rip from the games (both GBA and DS) files itself and not go through playing the games anymore especially the DS game because it has unlockable chars and i dont want to spend time playing to unlock those chars.

i just got back into ripping very recently (a few days ago to be more exact) so i have another question. sorry if i am annoying already

for JAR game files, i know it can be extracted and when i extracted i got ony 1 picture (menu background) and other files which i dont know how to open. how do I rip from JAR games (also aside from animget method) ? thanks in advance
Thanked by:
1- Not quite, tile molester, tahaxan and similar programs allows you to open the rom and explore it's contents. I don't know how to use them so...Sorry :/ You can also try the in-emulator tile viewer for both GBA and DS
2- As I said...Tile molester and tahaxan are the way to go if you don't want to do the animget way.

There are some tutorials:

Jar files can be opened with WinRar like a compressed file (they ARE compressed files), and sometimes you'll find png files. Other you'll find files without extension, so you'll have to get your favorite hex editor and look up the PNG header manually.
There's also a mobile phone emulator called mpowerplayer ( http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Fun/...ayer.shtml ) if you want to do animget way (some games just can't be ripped by any other way)

Keep on mind that not all mobile games are tool rippeable (Especially Capcom and Gameloft titles) so the only way to rip the sprites from them is playing the game with an emulator and using animget to capture the screens.

thanks to both of you for tips. is there an easy tutorial on how to use artmoney to rip sprites. i tried youtube but i cant find a video that is easy to understand.

What's animget? I ask this because I am doing a large ripping project and this sounds useful. Tongue

That What I did... .-.
You readed all?
I downloaded the game on Kongregate, the author authorized to download, the Download Game button is about author, not Kongregate...
And I used the SWF Compiler, but the files inside are: .swf, but how I convert to png?
Also I'm running Trial version...
That is ALL I said at the other post man .-.
EDIT: Wait... It's another one, let me see this one.
Downloading
Not worked as well...
But is possible to extract swf sprite files on the program too?
