YY-CHR

YY-CHR is a sprite ripper made by YY. If you want to rip games before the DS era, it is highly recommended especially for NES games. While it is easier to rip from than Tile Molester, it is more limited on what systems it can rip from.

Usage

TODO: Tutorial.

Please note that many games have compression and as a result, these can not be ripped unless the game has a decompression tool. In terms of success depends on the system and the game. While most NES games have all their sprites displayed, some games on some systems vary as in that you can rip the main character or a few sprites, everything if you are lucky while others can not be ripped at all. Some like on the Genesis can be stored in an unrippable way.

Supported Systems
