Well, emulators really take most of the work out of it. All you have to do is play the game up to that point, halt the gameplay when you want to start ripping, then advance the gameplay frame by frame, taking screenshots every frame. Then you just edit away the stuff you don't need, and tah-dah! You have sprites.
At least, that's how I rip sprites... Other people use stuff like Tile Molester...
