The VG Resource - Gamecube/Wii Sprite Ripping Tutorial

Greetings, everyone! I'm Mystie, and today, I will guide you through the sprite-ripping process for Gamecube and Wii games. This also works for textures too.

The process of ripping GCN/Wii sprites is very simple and straight-forward, so here's how you do it:

Step 1. Launch Dolphin.

Step 2. Click on "Options", and then "Graphics Settings" from the drop-down menu.

Step 3. In the Graphics Configuration window, click the "Advanced" tab, then check the "Dump Textures" box. Close the window.

Step 4. Select and launch the game you want to rip from. For this demonstration, I will be using Mr. Driller: Drill Land, a game that is 97% sprites.

Step 5. Play up to the point that has the sprites you want to rip. Let's say I want to rip sprites of regular Anna. To do that, I will go to the World Drill Tour event, and choose Anna. From here, I will make sure to do every action I can with her, so I will have a complete set of sprites.

Step 6. Close or pause the game once finished.

Step 7. Go to Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Dump\Textures\[game ID]. In this case, the ID is GDPJAF. View files by Large Icons or Extra Large Icons, and sort by Date Modified. This will help you find your sprites easier.

Step 8. Select the sprites, open them in a picture-editing program, and then paste them onto your sprite sheet.
