Which tool is better? - ZetTheLegendaryHero - 12-06-2015

I'm trying to rip some old games for my site that don't have tools made specifically for ripping them. So I was thinking about using one of those programs that takes images rapidly of a game. From this link http://spritedatabase.net/download which is better to use AnimGet or ScreenGet? Sorry for a lack of details I'm in a hurry.

I've never used ScreenGet, but AnimGet works pretty well. The palettes are slightly off though, if I remember correctly (it has been a while).

If possible, pausing your emulator and frame stepping is also a good tactic. A bit more hassle but the palettes will be correct and you can skip duplicate frames for the sprite you're ripping.

Thanks!
