Usually, the files used for sprites are somewhere in the folder where the game is installed. Some times they may be in weird file-types though, but you'll have to do a bit of research on those filetypes when you find out what you think is the sprites. They are usually recognizable because of their names often being something related to either "Sprite", "Texture" or the name of the character/thing you want the sprite of. Some times they are even put in their own folders, which may be named Sprites or Textures or whatnot. Just look for 'em, you'll find them sooner or later

You may have to take a memory dump of the game while its running, and open the dump in TiledGGD.

(I feel like I've said this before...)

Well ... the program TiledGGD didn't work with me ...
I have a PC game made in 1996. So far I couldn't open any of your files. I can only play, but got some errors. Also look for a shape, or way of ripping sprites of PC games.
Does anyone know otherwise?
Thank you very much

You need to make a dump of the game then open the dump, not the game

Kat...
I would also help to use this program (tiledggd) ... maybe I was wrong about that. I don't know English. I use a translator, and I have understood wrong. If you have a tutorial, or a well explained, I am very thankful.

Você talvez precise ter de fazer um memory dump do jogo enquanto ele está rodando e abrir o dump no TiledGGD.

Você precisa fazer um dump do jogo e abrir o dump, não o jogo.
