I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this, but I am currently ripping Tak's sprites from the GBA version of Tak and the Power of Juju, and I want to know if I'm doing this right. I've been working on this on and off for a very long time now and I don't sprite rip that often. How does this look so far?
SIDE NOTE: There is a set of sprites that is particularly hard to rip, and that is the blowgun attack in different angles (hold R, use the D-pad to aim and B to shoot). I can't seem to set the controls to aim it correctly, and I'm kinda stuck here.
As far as I remember, you have to activate "Poppy Bright" to get the real colours for this emulator (not sure if this is still a thing or if newer versions of VBA ironed it out).
Btw, animations usually go frame-by-frame, but sometimes, several layers of animation play at the same time which leads to an unholy amount of combinations and frames.
This is where I would recommend tile-ripping: https://spritedatabase.net/tutorial/gba

Hmm, this could be useful. This game has TONS of animation and I'm doing Tak 2 next which has even more animation. Thanks for this
No problem. If you still hit a wall, maybe a different emulator will come in handy:
Quote:Most-used GBA emulators
No$GBA (also a DS emulator, last update 3.05 from 2021)
Visual Boy Advance / VBA (the original is discontinued, but has different variants like VBA-M with the last update 2.1.4 from 2021)
mGBA (last update from this month, 0.10.0) For the sake of completion:
BatGBA (super old and not recommendable, last update from 2002, also can't say anything about the three below this one)
Boycott Advance
RascalBoy Advance
DreamGBA
And also multi-system emulators like
higan
BizHawk (apparently pretty good)
RetroArch
