Common Source Code Project
Common Source Code Project are a series of emulators coded by Toshiya Takeda with help from Mr. Artane, Mr. tanam and others. Unlike most Japanese emulators, it has an open source and is English friendly. Closest English equivalent is MAME in terms of the goal in terms of preservation however it is done in multiple binaries rather than one.
For the Japanese computers, this is very valuable to use and in the case of a few are done despite no games are available online at all (e.g. Pasiopia series). While they might not have many features and the only sprite ripping feature is a screenshot capture, the emulators are simple to use. So we thank you very much for this.
Currently supported consoles and computers
While the goal is to preserve all Japanese computers and some consoles, not every one has sprites to rip with some that like MAME are electronical based or just run BASIC. In terms of sprite ripping and tSR, these are the ones that have some games to rip.
