ROM Hack Bowser's inside story sprite ripping help?

[Shorkio]

Hi!
I'm trying rip Bowser's inside story sprites, but I don't know how.
I have tried NitroExplorer, but I think it's not right program to open those files...
Anyone know what to do? It will be big help

(oh, am I in the right topic?)

I know that place

but there is no right sprite sheet what I'm looking for...
That's why I'm trying to rip those sprites...

OK, then. =)
I hope you can rip what you want.

Thanks

But that's the problem... Every file is *.dat file, and Tahaxan (what I'm using right now) won't open those files. Or am I doing it wrong?

Get CrystalTile2

Open the ROM in CrystalTile2, then along the top row of buttons, click the DS icon.
This will bring up a file browser, scroll through and find 'NCG' files.
(( Since this is a first party Nintendo game, they will possibly/probably be compressed to .bin files.
You'll need a LZ77 decompress tool to decompress, then just drop the decompressed file into CT2 ))
You should be able to right click and have an option to view the sprites/images.


Alternatively, you can check out NDS Editor.
I've never used it or heard of it before now, but it came up while I was trying to find a LZ77 tool.
