How do you rip sprites/sounds?

[Cemetery Hill]

I've always been baffled by this. How do you rip files and such from games? Is there a software I'm not aware of, or some other method?

This is the most specific question I've ever read.

I can tell you there are thousands of different little programs and tricks and emulators. However, your question is, simply put, impossible to answer. There are so many differences between consoles, systems, companies and games. You'd have to be far more specific.

Locking this, as there is no point to have it going.
