TMNT Sprite Ripping Project
 

Edit: Site now up http://www.jsofts.com/tmntsprites/

Hello everyone,

Not sure if to post this here or in the video games forum.

Anyway, The TMNT Sprite Ripping Project is a page I will be creating to host animations ripped from the original 1989 Konami ninja turtles arcade game.
It will be a basic page, nothing fancy.

There is a large demand for sprites and this is somthing I have done in the past but never finished. I have however started from scratch (as my other rips had been resized and pixerlated).

My plan is to have every animation and object ripped from the original arcade game, but please keep in mind that these are NOT to be used for a profitable benefit and are solely to be admired and studied at the artistic brilliance that they are.

They will however also be available for those who make fan-games, but while the laws on fan-gaming are iffy, use at you own discretion.

While Konami own the copyrights to these animations/graphics I do however feel that my time in ripping them and piecing them together is to be appriciated, so if you do use these sprites please give me credit as alot of time and effort will have gone into creating the collection.

Here are three examples of a finished leonardo animation rip.

Now, to keep me interested in this long project, if you could.
Please request certain animations or objects.

I.e Leonardo Sitting down shellshocked

But please, only 1 request per user until your request has been forfilled.
And please, only 1 animation request (not all of a certain character).
You request will be forfilled when I have time to do so, but please your encouragment means alot to me, and will keep me working at it.

I hope you will support my efforts in this project, and will enjoy the outcome.

And to any of those skilled sprite rippers out there, if you can rip every frame and for it to be of a high quality and would like to help out in this project, please PM me.

When the site is up, all helpers will also be listed.

Thanks for reading.

Very cool idea, Jason. :)

Those two Leonardo sprites look awesome.

Ok, here's a request for a sprite... Leonardo doing a jumpkick.


As for helping out, I'll see what sprites I can rip from my emulator games.

Thankyou


Which type of jump kick, the diagnal kick or the kick you do when you are low to the ground?

Nice, any are welcome, i'm just mainly focusing on the 1989 arcade game.

Eventually I will have all the ones on a site as I do them, so people know what ones to not bother ripping.

So far I nearly have all of a purple foot soldier ripped and nearly all of Leonardo ripped.

The high, diagonal one.


Cool. I'll keep an eye on it. ;) :)

Also, if people just want to give me the sprites they have ripped in sheet form for me to piece together to make animated, that also is fine.

Main post updated. :)

This is great dude, I appreciate what you are doing for us thanks.
That rocks!
I would like to request The shredder striking. That would be for now.:)
Thanks again!!

My Pleasure,

Updated the first post again.

The foot soldier is awesome!!!

This is great btw. I would like to see General Tragg from arcade.

Thankyou.

Just letting you all know, the site is now up and running.

http://www.jsofts.com/tmntsprites/

I very much enjoy the site -- simple, clean, very respectful and shows lots of promise. We need more sites like these. :D

Indeed! Great site so far!!:D

If there is anything else people can suggest to improve the site, additional pages/content etc. Then please let me know.

This isn't just my site, its our site.

I've linked your sprite site with my sprite page, and featured sprites with Raph if that's cool with you.

Thankyou.

What I plan on doing are a few link to us buttons and banners.
I'm also going to make a little sprite that says "I support TMNT Sprite Ripping" (or somthing like that) which links to the site for people to show their support in signitures etc.

Updated the site with 24 more sprites.

More updates and changes will be made to the site throughout the day.

You've added so many cool stuff there dude. Love that April Profil gif and all the Foot Soldiers. Keep it up this is rocking!:D

Thanks

Added a shoutbox to the site for visitors to leave a message.

Ah sprites... my old passion. Seems like ages since I ripped stuff for Game Sprite Archives.

Nice to see you've still got the spark Jason. Keep up the good work.

I lost the sprite ripping spark for many years.

But the poor TMNT games that Konami bring out now just anger me, and the re-hash of the tmnt arcade games for the nex gen consoles was an insult.

I just hope the spark lasts.

You are doing a great work so far bud. I can't wait to see the Shredder.

'Same here, bro. Those two ports included with Battle Nexus and Mutant Nightmare were downright offensive. Ugh, absolutely repugnant.

A real shame, too, since the new 3D brawlers are pretty darn good.

I went through the entire game today, snapshoting what I need.

Will be adding 30+ more sprites including props/stills maybe laster today or tommorow. I will post when the site has been updated.

Meanwhile, please drop by a leave a message on the shoutbox.

Great to hear that Jason! Can't wait to see 'em.

Its now 80+

Just havent got around to adding them to the site yet.

Thats already 133 rips.

TMNT Sprites has been updated.

85 additions to the sprite page.

Check it out and leave a message :)

Holy Sh""!! You've been busy my friend!! WOW awesome!!
So many cool new ones. Thanks for the Shredder sprites,thank you soo much!!

Thankyou.

Its been tough doing it in this heat, but I've outdone myself.

Anymore requests?

Perhaps some more Donatello? And I'd really like to see the white Foot Soldiers, the ones with the wicked swords...

Keep it up, dude. :)

I've got one white footsoldier with sword so far, I should get more of donatello when I have to go through the game to get more things I needs.

Will you only tackle the arcade game or are you also going to try some TMNT TiT?

I may do turtles in time in the future, but at the moment I don't want to take too much on, so i'm sticking with just the one game for now

Thanks for the info.

The Simpsons arcade game is also high on my list, so you never know.

The Simpsons arcade game is also one of my faves! Will you be doing requests for other arcade games soon, or is that too much work?

Not sure, i'm only going to do games that I really enjoy and that mean somthing to me and that I have alot of knowledge of.
