 As you can imagine, ripping from a PC game is very much on a case-by-case basis. The best options you have for ripping content is by using any of our [[Template:Ripping Applications|list of universal ripping applications]].
 ===Borland's Resource Workshop===
 In the case of 16-bit Windows games (which are incompatible on modern hardware without the use of virtual machines), Borland's Resource Workshop can extract image files directly form the .EXE and export them. The program is incompatible with DOS games and games designed for 32-bit Windows systems and above, though there are alternatives for modern operating systems, such as Resource Hacker.

 ===Mini vMac===
 While it requires some setup work, Mini vMac is a powerful emulator for Classic Mac OS. Unlike DOSBox, it lacks a quick screenshot feature and no speed control functionality, thus the computer's Printscreen key or snapshot functionality must be used.
