are there any way to rip game like metal slug directly from the files??

[keithktam]

Hi guys!new! are there any way to rip game like metal slug directly from the files?? as oppose to rip it "manually" frame by frame with an emulator?? the reason i ask this is that first i need a lot of sprites from a game for a project, the second is that judging the fact that i can see there a abundant amount of sprites sheets for example, metal slug and the sprites are arranged into separate parts, explosion apart, various of body parts apart, i can't help but thinking there could be a way to directly extract the data from the files themselves instead of ripping it manually...

hope someone can pass on some view into this

thanks!!
