How To Rip Sprites From Dos Games

I'll be more than happy to answer any questions related to homebrew/riivolution hacking (includes Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and general sound replacements). I get a ton of those regularly, so don't be shy to ask me if you have problems or if you're interested in installing homebrew on your Wii, as well as making model replacements. If you're also interested in porting assets for Source, as in Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, or Gmod, I can help there too.

I don't mind if you help participate in any my projects without contacting me first as long as you're not actively edit-sniping me as I write articles or add uploaded images to tables as I'm uploading them, because this creates edit conflicts and makes it even harder for me to save edits on articles I'm working on. However, it's generally still polite to ask first if it's ok to assist in my projects. The answer will be yes unless otherwise stated. I just don't want anyone edit-snipe police for me should someone else create articles out of red links that I was planning to create or create tables of items that I was about to create. Any help is very appreciated.

1. Please leave all new comments on the bottom of this page, or click that '+' sign for a new header.
2. Please sign your comments with {{User|Username}} or ~~~~. Don't make me and others go through the hassle of using the {{unsigned|Usernamed}} template for you.
3. Please type your best English here. Typing like a semi-literate boob will make me treat you like a semi-literate boob.
4. I strongly encourage you to read these pages before you ask me (or others) help with Wiki syntax, but I'll most likely help with your problems anyway.
5. Please use common sense. If you think what you wrote in my talk page is inappropriate, chances are, it is.
6. This also applies to courtesy. Please be courteous and kind at all times.
7. I do not take any requests of any sort. I'm far too busy to please everyone, and while I do have an attitude that wants to please everyone, it's not feasible to do so.
   1. THIS INCLUDES FRIEND REQUESTS. If you want to be my friend, talk to me and stuff like that. Friendship isn't a thing to be accepted or rejected, it's earned. Like trust. I will not bite you if you casually talk to me, I promise.
8. Think something I did is wrong and incorrect? It is fine to discuss it here in a peaceful manner. Insulting me or calling me out because I did something you don't like obviously violates a MarioWiki policy and you could get warned for it depending on the severity of it. Wouldn't it be just easier to just...discuss it? I won't bite if you don't provoke me.
9. Don't bother if you're gonna troll here: the edit is gonna get reverted instantly anyway so no one will see it. I'm already trained enough to ignore idiots thanks to my experience here.
10. If I tell you to stop doing something (eg leaving random messages on my talk page), it's probably because you're annoying me. Please don't continue leaving messages that I don't care to reply to.

Badges[edit]

(It's gonna take a bit to get used to your new name on the wiki.)

The non-Mario badges you uploaded by mistake, think you can find a place for them and remainders on other wikis? 01:18, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

Oh absolutely but the problem is, there's a whole lot of them and I don't have accounts on other wikis, aside from Nookipedia and WiKirby, and both of them are inactive. I'm not sure if I'll ever get around uploading them for other Nintendo series. Ray Trace^(T|C) 03:59, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

Nookipedia and WiKirby are actually very active. But that's fine, if you'd like to put them in a Dropbox or something, I can upload them at some point :) 12:23, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

'They' refers to my accounts there. Anyway, I've uploaded the zip to my Google Drive. Enjoy. Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:17, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

Oh, okay. And awesome, thanks ^^ 16:29, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

Congratulations![edit]

To celebrate your shiny new username and the beginning of a new archive, enjoy this complementary Wario:

Super Mario Galaxy 2 not included in SM3DAS[edit]

Why shouldn't we mention that SMG2 isn't included? If it's going to be removed, at least give a better reason than just 'unnecessary because it is not the best way to describe why.--TheGreenBeetle (talk) 12:45, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

The first sentence of the article actively tells readers what's in the game, as I feel like that's good enough information to inform readers of what the game pack contains. Making statements that omit games as a negative space tend to carry redundant bloat in the article that comprises the brevity of the statement. Ray Trace^(T|C) 13:04, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

Ok. I guess that makes sense.--TheGreenBeetle (talk) 14:49, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

I see...[edit]

So, are you trying to raise Super Mario Kart to featured status now? --DarkNight 23:58, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

Yeah I am. Ray Trace^(T|C) 00:03, September 20, 2020 (EDT)

I am thinking Dr. Mario World animations...[edit]

If you can try to get more Dr. Mario World model animations could you do the rest of the losing animations and win animations and more for the gallery? I know you told me last time, but I have been checking all day. I split the models into a gallery of the models, so people could find them easier there instead of waiting in the other gallery. ^(T) 11:29, September 20, 2020 (EDT)

As you can see by my rather delayed response, I am quite busy right now writing up articles and what not. I'll try to get to them eventually. Ray Trace^(T|C) 09:50, September 21, 2020 (EDT)

I understand, but I wish I had an Android to do what you told last time but I am afraid I don't have one, I have an iPhone X (Apple). But I wait for you making them soon. ^(T) 03:05, September 21, 2020 (EDT)

I'll resume again today. I'll try getting the idle animation for Dr. Blooper at least. Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:25, September 21, 2020 (EDT)

Don't forget the last losing animations, all win animations, more skill animations, and the idle animations for Dr. Boo, Dr. King Boo, and Dr. Morton. OK? ^(T) 09:26, October 4, 2020 (EDT)

A simple question[edit]

One thing you may or may have not noticed recently, is that I have been uploading many image/gifs from the PC/MS-DOS versions of Mario is Missing, Mario's Time Machine, and Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters. Part of why I have been doing that is because all of the games I just mentioned, I own on CD-ROM. I play them on DOSBox, take screenshots of them, and then remove the backgrounds to rip the sprites. Are there any particular sprites from Mario is Missing, Mario's Time Machine, and Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters that you would like ripped? Also, other than taking screenshots and then removing the backgrounds, is there any other way to rip sprites from those games?MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 3:52, 21 September 2020 (EST)

'Allo. I haven't really played the games but I think you should rip...well every named object in the game, from characters to Mushrooms to Blocks. I think it would be so great to have expanded coverage on the edutainment games on the wiki in general so images are a great place to start. Maybe one day they'll be featured articles lol. Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:24, September 21, 2020 (EDT)

I have just finished playing through all of the CD-ROM version of Mario is Missing for the third time, so prepare for me to nuke the wiki with images and gifs from that game. Like this Bowser. MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 4:49, 27 September 2020 (EST)

You are an unsung hero of MarioWiki. Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:59, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

For uploading that gif, among others?MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 5:05, 27 September 2020 (EST)

We need more Mario Edutainment title coverage, period, and includes uploading the Very Best Mario Sprites. Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:14, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

Like this: MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 5:26, 27 September 2020 (EST)

The best Bowser sprites. Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:29, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

Which one of those overweight turtles is your favorite? Also, here are some more. MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 5:45, 27 September 2020 (EST)

The profile one that shows how ineptly his shell is drawn is the best. But I also like the derpy talking Bowser too. Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:54, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

The funny part about that, is that because the PC version of Mario is Missing was the first Mario game I ever played, as well as being my introduction to the franchise, I used to think that was how Bowser's shell was meant to be, and because of that, I thought all the other sprites of Bowser were the off-model ones. Anyway, Iggy Koopa is here with all of his clones. MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 6:18, 27 September 2020 (EST)

Oh really? Lmao, you started off on the right foot for Mario franchise entry lmao. Also, Icky Iggy is a great nickname for Iggy that I wish was used in official games. Ray Trace^(T|C) 18:26, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

I still have the CD-ROM that I first played the game off of all those years ago. It still works too, and is what I played the game on to screenshot the sprites. After I played Mario is Missing, I then moved on to the PC version of Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters, and after that, I played Mario's Time Machine on PC before moving over to the mainline games. Here are some more sprites from the PC release of Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters, and the PC version of Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun, as well as the PC version of Mario's Time Machine. All of those Ludwig sprites were from the PC version of Mario's Time Machine. They were not used in-game, but they were a bitmap file on the CD-ROM called 'MUSEUM/LUDW.BMP'. I found them on accident while poking around on the CD-ROM, so I decided to make them into gifs.MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 7:54, 27 September 2020 (EST)So, do you think those Ludwig sprites should have been used in the PC version of Mario's Time Machine, or do you think that it's a good thing they are unused? Also, what do you think those Ludwig sprites were going to be used for?MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 7:02, 28 September 2020 (EST)

We need your help. ^^[edit]

Hi, I'm a Big Fan of Dr. Mario World and I see than we still miss a couples of Doctors Animations as GIF. Would you accept to help us too added the rest of the bunch, specially the winning animations that would be very nice to have to. I know you are very busy, so I know it will take you a lot of effort to get back on this, but the good new is they doesn't give us New Doctors and New Assistants for this Month, so that mean Dr. Mario World is about to eventually close and we want to bring every beautiful things of this game they give us, before they shutdown the servers forever.

Long life to Dr. Baby Luigi and eventually Dr. Birdo, I hope! :P

Just for you know, I'm not very connected to MarioWiki.com, so if you want to contact me directly on dominicouimet@hotmail.com I will answer you as soon as I see your message and I check them almost everyday. ^^

About sandbox[edit]

If a user wants to experiment, they should use their sandbox, not the main sandbox. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 15:27, December 4, 2020 (EST)

That's exactly what the main sandbox is for. Nonautoconfirmed users can't even make their own user pages yet, and users entirely new to wiki editing can gravitate towards that page, that's exactly what I did when I first created my account here. Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:26, December 4, 2020 (EST)

Oh, sorry. I'm sorry for being harsh about it. Nonetheless, going another direction, saying 'Hello world' is considered chatting, I prefer if that user should put that on Discord. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:29, December 4, 2020 (EST)

'Hello, World!' program is a common new programming quirk. What the user did is ultimately harmless. Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:31, December 4, 2020 (EST)

Oh, sorry again. I feel like I took vandalism too seriously Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:33, December 4, 2020 (EST)

It's fine, not a big deal. The message will likely get removed down the line regardless anyway. Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:34, December 4, 2020 (EST)

You're so good. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:38, December 4, 2020 (EST)

IP vandalism[edit]

Can't help but see that as a self-confession on their part, haha Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:56, December 5, 2020 (EST)

I tried to give that user a chance by simply blocking them from editing just the List of Boos article, they blew it. *shrug* Ray Trace^(T|C) 02:59, December 5, 2020 (EST)

Kindness is wasted on some people, I suppose. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:03, December 5, 2020 (EST)

I hope he doesn't vandalize that page or else I will hire Ray Trace to block him (again!) (for longer! (obviously)). Benjaminkirsc (talk) 14:04, December 5, 2020 (EST)

Wario congratulates you![edit]

Wario has heard that you became a patroller, so he came here personally to congratulate you! What? You’re saying that it was already celebrated like two weeks ago? And that you’ve set up a Wario killing device that’ll kill- *BOOM* ...and there he goes.

Anyway, congratulations and have a very Merry Christmas, and a (hopefully) good 2021.

Question[edit]

Why do you prohibit Wario from your talk page? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 15:17, December 8, 2020 (EST)

Punching Wario is encouraged, not prohibited. Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:20, December 8, 2020 (EST)

Okay, I don't know why punching Wario would be allowed, but it is your choice, and I'll let you decide your opinion. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 15:27, December 8, 2020 (EST)
