"Riping" sprites in Retro Games Tutorial

[Shade]

This thread is a bit confusing.

I'm not really sure what you're meaning by "putting sprites and maps in retro games". Do you mean taking sprites and backgrounds from other games and adding them to another? Or do you mean something along the lines of ripping from retro games? Judging by the thread title, you want to rip from older games, but your post is what threw me off.
