[Tutorial] How to rip sprites from the Sega Saturn - DogToon64 - 08-15-2020
NOTE: This isn't the best way to rip from the Sega Saturn, but it's one way I know of. And this emulator's a little iffy, but not bad :P
What you'll need:
Yabause (underated Sega Saturn emulator)
Yabause's VPD1 or VDP2 viewer
Any Sega Saturn ROM
- First, download and/ or install Yabause. You can get Yabause here.
- Second, download a Sega Saturn ROM from anyplace you can get one.
- Third, open the ROM up in Yabause.
- Fourth, play the game until you get to a part where you want to rip sprites at.
- Fifth, open up the VDP1 viewer, and search for the sprites, until you found the one you're looking for in the preview.
- Sixth, export it. (the default is the .BMP format, I recommend saving it as a .PNG format)
I hope this is helpful!
If not, give me some suggestions that might improve this.
Or if you have any questions, comment here or PM me.

Update 1: If you download the portable version (the version you don't have to install), there's a problem with the VDP2 viewer: You can't export anything from it. It crashes the program. When I installed it, it worked fine. So it's better to install Yabause than to use the portable version.

Nice! I don't think there's much else to add though.

Thank you! I might make a video on YouTube then share it here.
Other than that, I don't think there's much else to add to this. But if you find another tip, PM me or tell me here.
