Not sure if this suggestion has been made before, but I'd been interested in a section of the site dedicated to scripts i.e. dialogue, text, etc. ripped from games.
While it is a good idea, it isn't something that is suitable here on as it is generally more to do with the programming side while here is more to do with the visual/audio (excluding music/speech) side of games. It's more of a GitHub type of thing or somewhere where they focus on dialogue/text e.g. fan translations where that would be useful.
Besides each game does it differently... Some games have all the text stored in the ROM or in a file while others require disassembly as it is baked into the game itself. Worst case scenarios rely on tiles so it is limited on what text that you can change without reworking the game* or even needing something outside of the game to generate the text. Text may also be compressed. In some cases though dialogue/text can be visual (that do get ripped here if it's a graphic) or fonts that are generally on here.
*-Infamous example being Sonic 1 where Clock Work Zone was changed to Scrap Brain Zone as no W tiles were made in the font.
